Notes

Please try to use freshly squeezed orange juice because it tastes the best.
If you want a super smooth topping, you can omit the zest.
For a different flavor profile, try other citrus fruits like lemon, lime or grapefruit.
If the glaze is too thick, mix in some more juice.
If the glaze is too thin, add more powered sugar.
Be sure to sift your powdered sugar to remove lumps. This will ensure the smoothest consistency.
Add extract such as vanilla, almond, coconut e.t.c for additional flavor.
Read additional tips and variations above.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
