In a pan, over medium heat, add ⅔ cup of confectioners (powdered) sugar, and two tablespoons of liquid. For orange glaze, I use orange juice and about one tablespoon of zest - typically the amount from one small orange. Whisk for about two minutes, until combined.
Once the sugar has totally dissolved, the glaze/icing is ready to use. If your glaze stiffens before you are done using it, simply re-heat and stir to get it back to liquid. You can do this in the microwave, or returning the mixture to stovetop.
The end result is a lighter, softer, more liquid and see-through/translucent finish. Pour, drizzle or dip onto your favorite things. If you are sprinkling crystalized sugar sprinkles, do so right after pouring, since the glaze will set quickly.

The end result is a heavier, firmer, and more solid-looking/opaque finish. Pour, drizzle or dip onto your favorite things. If you are sprinkling crystalized sugar sprinkles, do so right after pouring, since the glaze will set quickly.
