This was very good on an angel food cake, I sent it to teacher appreciation with my daughter and they loved it. I was running low on time and poured it over the cake while it was hot and it turned out very yummy. Drizzled some sugar over top and it was very beautiful.

My dear aunt used to make this to put on top of her carrot cake. It was the best. It is the only way I can eat carrot cake now. The only difference is that she added some orange zest to it. She would make the cake in a bundt pan and when the glaze was poured over the cake, the extra would fll the middle. Thanks for sharing this.

I always find that orange works well with chocolate, so I used this on top of a chocolate pound cake. Really nice.

I used this on some Pumpkin cookies 185445 instead of the listed glaze and ate the leftovers straight from the pot. Positively YUMMY! and easy to make too. I used a not from concentrate oj as I think that tastes better.
