The corn syrup was far too overpowering.

This is good. Used this on Orange Party Cake I. Did not use food coloring and it looked ok.

I made the recipe as is, but I halved it. There's not enough of an orange flavour for me, and I feel like its too soft for me - I like to pipe my frosting instead of spreading it. I felt like the orange juice dissolved the sugar once it was added, so even though my frosting was basically a dough before I added it, I just could not get it to be the consistency I wanted. Next time I'll use orange concentrate instead of juice, and just use half of what the recipe calls for.

I was not blown away but this was definitely better than the pre-made, store frosting. A bit over sweet, but still good.

this is a fantastic icing even though I ended up having to add a little bit more powdered sugar to make it thicker.

I think if I would have made the frosting as is it would have been 4 stars, but I zested an orange and added it into the mix and it was definately a five star recipe with that addition. Also, I think I ended up adding more than 2 T of orange juice. I squeezed in what I thought was 2 T and it seemed a bit stiff and not quite creamy enough so I juiced the entire orange into the bowl. This is NOT a glaze as one reviewer said... I can't even imagine what that person did wrong to make it runny enough to pass as a glaze.

this frosting is fantastic 5 out of 5 for if you are wanting a smooth creamy frosting regardless of how much sugar was included in order to achieve the frosting supreme. Enormous sugar content in this frosting, but delicious all the same.

This is good, but would love to have it taste more like orange. Perhaps next time, I will try to intensify the flavor.

Great recipe! As noted earlier 1 1/2 batches would be better for a 9" round cake. I blended all the liquid ingredients prior to adding to the sugar mix for better diffusion.I also deleted the vanilla and replaced it with 2 teaspoons of orange oil to intensify the flavor.
