I'm not looking for something opaque, but if I were I would look to my
mother's way. Confectioner's sugar, orange peel and prange juice. What I
want is something shiny and thinnish that I can prick the top of the cake
and let seep in, although not too much. I need to make it a day ahead
anyway, so I'll take advantage of that.
