This tastes just like a Creamsicle! The frosting is delicious (hubby was eating leftovers by the spoonful) and very light. I couldn't get mine to set up firm enough to stay on the cake (even after letting the frosting sit in the fridge for 5+ hours), so I added in a packet of unflavored gelatin and stuck it in the fridge for another 1/2 hour. After letting the frosted cake refrigerate overnight, it held up beautifully, even when cut. Co-workers raved and it's perfect for the 100+ degree weather we're having! I decorated it with orange slice gummy candies so it didn't look like a white blob and people couldn't believe I made it.

Only made the frosting. Frosted Bee Lian's Orange cake on this site. Creamy, and not runny at all. I used 1/2 recipe for one 8x8 round cake. There was leftover, but not enough for another whole cake. One suggestion: Mix the powdered sugar with the sour cream to get rid of the sugar lumps and then fold in the whipped topping. Leftover frosting makes a good fruit dip!

I couldn't find orange cake anywhere. So I tried a white cake mix and added 4 teaspoons of the orange extract. It still had very little orange flavor. In fact, no one knew it was orange flavor until I said it and then they said they detected a small amount of orange flavor. I did like the ease and consistency of the frosting. I took the advice of another post and let it set up for about an hour before spreading. It makes a really large amount! I would probably use the frosting again but not the cake. I had no problem substituting lite whipped topping and lite sour cream in the frosting recipe.

Fantastic!! Tastes just like the creamsicle! The cake is really moist and flavorful, but it is the frosting that makes this cake. The frosting really has that creamsicle flavor that is so yummy! I chilled the cake briefly to make it easier to cut the layers. I used a generous amount of frosting between the layers and iced the top and sides as well. The cake looked beautiful after it was cut. The rich orange color and the creamy white - just spectacular. Thanks for the recipe!

Pretty good cake. Our whole family enjoyed it. I didn't make the frosting though.

Wonderful, loved it and did not change a thing!

This cake tastes just like it sounds. It is absolutely wonderful. I didn't cut the two cakes into four and the frosting was a little runny. Besides that I will definetly make it again.

I made this yesterday for today (today being Christmas). I know it's not a very Christmas-y dessert but I wanted something completely different from the half-dozen things we had for dessert on Thanksgiving. I made the lemon variety and it was amazing! One could make this cake in such a variety of flavors, limited only by what extracts you can find. I do have some advice regarding the frosting though. Make this cake the day (or at last many hours) before you are going to serve it. Chill the frosting for at least an hour before putting it on the cake as it will firm up and be able to support the layers better (allowing you to put more between each layer). Frost the cake, reserve the leftover frosting, and chill. When you serve it, frost it again, using as much of the frosting as you can. Its not sweet, so don't be afraid to use LOTS of frosting. That's why the recipe makes as much frosting as it does, because its GOOD. There's no need to waste it.

This was a big hit at a birthday party for my choir mates. I too could not find an orange cake mix, but lemon substituted fine. Lots of frosting , which made for a large looking frosted cake. Easy recipe with dramatic results.

This recipe is GREAT! I had never heard of an orange creamsicle cake, but when it was requested of me, I of course turned to this website. My only suggestion is to cut down the recipe for the icing...unless you plan on icing more than your cake. I would say half everything and it should be more than enough without extra containers of it left over. This is the PERFECT orange cream cake and does really taste like the summertime favorite!

I am not sure why this cake doesn't rate higher - I have made it several times (except I change everything "orange" to "lemon" and always receive MANY compliments. Delicious!

This cake sounded so good I just had to try it and it came out perfect! I used only half of the sour cream in the frosting stirring it into the confectioners sugar. Then I added that to the whipped topping. This is NOT too sweet.

I made this for my nephews birthday and my entire family just raved about it. This is unusual,because they generally expect me to bring something wonderful, since baking has always been a hobby of mine. It did't seem heavy even after a large dinner.

wonderfull

Yummy! My grocery store didn't have orange cake mix, so I used a lemon cake mix and just used food coloring for appearance. I'm looking for any excuse to make it again.

Wow!!! This is an excellent cake!!! I brought it in for a birthday at work and they just loved it. I did make one change, I made it a sheet cake and added mandarin orages to the middle. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Lillian Cordova

You people who didn't like this cake, need your taste buds checked...I get nothing but praise for this cake... It is absolutely the best...

The topping came out so ridiculously runny that i had to add a lot more confectionary sugar- and it still never firmed up. Though it tasted great, it looked like a disaster and i had made it for someone's birthday. Would not recommend this cake at all.
