1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter
2 large eggs
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup soymilk or milk
1 tbsp orange juice

2 large egg whites
3 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
1 tbsp orange juice
pastel food colorings

1. Preheat Oven to 350
2. Line muffin pans with 18 paper liners
3. In a medium bowl with a mixer at medium speed, beat the sugar and the margarine or butter until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir with a fork. Add into the creamed mixture. Stir in the soymilk or milk, and orange juice. Mix until batter is smooth.
5. Fill each muffin cup 2/3rds full with batter. Fill any empty cups halfway with water. Bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and the tops are golden. Remove from pans to cool.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Slowly add the sugar, glycerin, and orange juice. Beat for 1 minute at medium speed. Thin with water if too thick to spread or add more confectioner’s sugar if too thin.
7. Divide the frosting into several bowls. Tint each bowl with a few drops of food coloring. Stir to combine until you get an even shade in each bowl. Frost the cooled cupcakes.
