Made a yellow cake with orange essence oil, and topped with this amazing orange cream cheese frosting! I didn't use the walnuts. Was the hit of the party- usually the chocolate cake goes 1st- but everyone came back for seconds on this one!

Okay concept: the orange flavor and nuts would've tasted good in a good base frosting, but this one was runny from the orange juice, and used way too much sugar. I had to add more cream cheese and butter to tone down the sweetness, but it's still runny. I won't be making this one again.

Simply perfect for Carolyn's Orange Rolls, from this website, and the orange zest was wonderful! I left out the nuts and added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; other than that, the recipe was perfect for me. I will use this on other desserts and will try it with nuts too.

A bit too thin but great flavour! Goes well with Lite carrot cake. Thanks for posting this.

I made this to top the recipe for Pumpkin Cheese Bread II, which I made in a bundt pan. This is creamy and delicious!

The flavor of this icing was quite good - the orange really adds a nice zip. However, it's quite thin. It's not the consistency I was hoping for when I think of cream cheese frosting. I added some more cream cheese, and that helped. Just keep in mind that this is very sugary - not butter or cheese based like many. It would definitely be great for icing cinnamon rolls or drizzing over a bundt cake..but the texture just didn't work well for frosting an entire cake.

Very good. Didn't have orange zest so I added some orange marmalade. Everyone loved it. Put it on Carrot Bread from this site.

This icing is simple to make and tastes great on Carrot cookies or Carrot cake. The grated orange really comes through, so you may want to use less orange rind if you prefer. Good icing all round!
