Sugar Free Orange Buttercream Frosting
You might be wondering right now when you would ever need a recipe for orange buttercream frosting.
You may one day have to bake a cake for a fan of the color orange and this frosting recipe may be perfect for that cake.
However, there are other reasons to make orange buttercream frosting.
Obviously, Halloween would be one of those reasons. But, try not to forget that there are plenty of sports teams that favor the color orange as well. I live in one of those areas of the country too (high school, college, and professional here!).
