I like that it has the 'secret ingredient' of Jello too!

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!).
 

There is a specific ingredient that you will need for this recipe.

Sugar Free Orange Jello is one of those ingredients. While you can get away with using a small box (.3 ounce), for better flavor, opt for the larger (.6 ounce) if you want a bolder flavor and color.
