Once your cupcakes have cooled, it’s time to get creative with the toppings. Here are some suggestions to help you get started:
Mix 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of orange zest together until smooth. With a large star tip, pipe the frosting on the cupcakes.
Orange glaze: Heat 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Brush the glaze on top of the cupcakes after they have cooled.
For candied oranges, cut fresh oranges into thin rounds and sprinkle them with sugar. Put the slices under the broiler for two to three minutes, or until the sugar turns brown. The candied orange slices go on top of the cupcakes.
