What would be a good icinig to use with this? regular buttercream? any ideas??

cream cheese?

That's what I used. You could add some orange flavoring or if you don't mind an orange color use about a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of UN sweetened KoolAid in b'cream

If you prefer a glaze to a heavy icing, you can mix your powdered sugar with orange juice in place of milk or water. Really yummy!

I would try a non-dairy icing, like cool-whip.

I was going to say what Cakediva01 said! Yum!

And welcome!, Cakediva01!

I made this cake yesterday and it turned out very good (even though I forgot to add the oil) For the filling and the icing, I mixed Free Cool Whip with a small box of instant vanilla pudding. It was great!!

Check out this link. It should take you to an amazingly good recipe for a creamy icing for your cake. It is such a great combo, but would need to be refrigerated. Just a thought.

oooh thank you all such great ideas i'm liking the kool aid one!!

i use vanialle mousse inside and ice in smbc... but then again i ice everything in smbc!

Brain freeze. What's smbc again?

Its swiss merigue buttercream

How about Bettercreme?

I have a recipe that has dream whip and vanilla pudding, that makes an icing type stuff, that I use on mine. It is very good, but of course you have to keep in the refrigrator. I can look it up if someone is interested.

I'm interested teddybr218!!!!! Please share your recipe!

I made this Orange Creamsicle cake last year - it includes a frosting recipe (it is cream cheese, pudding, and cool whip-based - YUM!) with it - and it was DEEEEEE-LISH!!!!

In fact, now that you've reminded me about it, I'm getting a hankering to make it again

I vote for SMBC. The light taste of it would not compete with the cake. IMHO

I slip a custard into the center for filling on this particular cake then glaze the outside, but I don't add additional orange flavorings having found that is too much citrus --preferring instead to play up the vanilla side of the cake.

I use regular buttercream, but I add a little orange extract in addition to the vanilla extract. Yummy.

Here you go.

1 envelope, 1.5 ounces, whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
1 package, 4 serving size, vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1.5 cups cold milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For topping, blend topping mix, instant pudding mix, cold milk and vanilla extract in a chilled deep bowl and beat until stiff and fluffy, 3 to 8 minutes.

Would someone be kind enough to please give me the recipe for this orange dreamsicle cake? The post where all of the different WASC flavors are discussed is so overwhelming and then there is discussion that this was left out or that was adjusted on this flavor and that flavor - I am not sure what recipe to use. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for ansking. I want to make this cake very soon.
