Over the weekend we celebrated my son's birthday with family, friends and red velvet cupcakes. My hubby and I made them after founding a delicious recipe from browneyedbaker.com and we had our first attempt at decorating cupcakes. We did not use the cream cheese frosting as the recipe suggests because my husband doesn't like anything with cheese on (even if its only in name). Instead we used a Martha Stewart recipe for a super easy glaze. I adjusted the suggested quantities a little, added red and yellow coloring (our theme was Mickey Mouse) and the cupcakes looked and tasted great.
Ingredients:
-1/2 medium orange (squeeze juice)
-1 cup Confectioners sugar
-powder food coloring 
Mix the orange juice with the confectioners sugar until a paste is form. If you want the glaze to be runny add more orange juice, if you prefer it to be thicker then add more sugar. Once you are happy with the consistency, add the food coloring of your choice and apply onto cupcakes immediately. (Cupcakes should be cold).
