Orange Buttermilk Cupcakes

Found this recipe online from Taste of Home 2009. As I had buttermilk and a orange to use up, thought I would give it a try. Everyone liked them, except once again I ended up with more than the recipe called for. I guess I really need to buy some new muffin pans.

However here is the recipe and hope everyone enjoys them.
