Joe's glaze for baked goods. Glaze that makes "sugar feet."

Joe's glaze for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, scones, etc.

Joe made this glaze recipe, adapted from a recipe on the Food Network, several times to glaze cakes, cupcakes etc..  We used to just make a powdered sugar and lemon juice glaze or powdered sugar and hot water glaze but we wanted to make a thicker glaze that would form "sugar feet" in the places where it ran down the sides of the cake, scones, Lebkuchen cookies, tortes,  etc.

3 Tbsp. melted butter
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. orange juice
