• Chill the frosting until ready to ice the cupcakes or cake.

Steps:

• Grate the zest of all the oranges, taking care to take only the orange zest but none of the white pith. Squeeze the juice from the oranges until you have 2 1/2 cups of juice, and reserve the other oranges for another use. Combine the orange juice with the lemon juice and set aside.
• In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, half and half, and orange zest and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Remove from the heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thickened. Whisking all the time, pour in the hot cream mixture. Whisk until well combined and then stir in the citrus juices and vanilla. Strain into a large, flat container and chill until cold. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions. Store in the freezer for up to 2 days, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat both sugars, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, and cream cheese together until creamy, at least 5 minutes. Add egg and mix well. Mix in molasses. Mix in vanilla, orange, and maple extracts.
• Stir flour, orange zest, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves, and nutmeg together in another bowl until well combined and no clumps of zest remain. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together just until incorporated; don't overmix.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix all ingredients well.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, cinnamon, orange peel and butter. Press unto the bottom of a greased 10-in. springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Prepare orange gelatin according to package directions. Set aside 1/2 cup at room temperature. Chill remaining gelatin until slightly thickened, 40-60 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in milk and lemon juice. Beat on medium-high speed 2 minutes longer. Gradually beat in orange juice concentrate and vanilla.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir into room temperature orange gelatin. Stir into cream cheese mixture, then fold in whipped topping. Pour into crust.
• For topping, in a large mixing bowl, beat whipped topping and sugar. Beat in refrigerated orange gelatin (mixture will be thin). Chill for 30 minutes. Gently spoon over filling (pan will be full). Refrigerate for 8 hour or overnight. Garnish lemon slices, orange peel strips, kumquats and lemon balm if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine flour, butter, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until butter is pea-sized or smaller. Pour buttermilk and 1/2 of the orange juice in slowly, with the processor running, until dough is sticky and all flour is absorbed. Mix in dried cranberries until evenly distributed. Reserve remaining orange juice for the icing.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of about 1 inch. Cut dough into 12 triangles with a knife (or use a biscuit cutter for circles) and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While the scones are baking, combine reserved orange juice and 1 cup powdered sugar for icing. Stir to desired consistency, adding more powdered sugar as needed.
• Remove scones from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with icing. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.

• To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.

• To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
• Put aside and let come to room temperature.
• Be patient, it's worth it.
• In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.

• Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
• Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
• Sprinkle with the nuts.
• Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.

• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepot over medium heat with a kitchen thermometer attached to the rim, warm the milk and buttermilk to 85°F. Add one-quarter of the rennet tablet and transfer the mixture to a plastic container or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and then poke a few holes in the plastic to allow the steam to escape. Let stand at room temperature in a cool spot in your house for 48 hours.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids to a double layer of cheesecloth set over a bowl and discard the liquid. Wrap the solids in the cheesecloth and hang it over the bowl (to catch the whey) in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
