Kimmi's Notes:

Mmmmm! So easy & yummy!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9" round cake pan.

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in the center of the pan. Cut the remaining biscuits in 1/2, forming 14 half-circles. Arrange the pieces around the center biscuit with cut sides facing in the same direction. When finished it'll kind of resemble the sun. LOL!

Brush melted butter over the tops of the biscuits.

In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, granulated sugar & orange zest. Mix well & sprinkle over biscuits. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, orange juice & food colorings. Blend until smooth adding more orange juice, if needed, to thin. Drizzle glaze over the warm coffee cake & serve.
