We are getting together with the same group of friends today, and one of the other friends just celebrated a birthday on Thursday, so here I am, baking another Memorial Day weekend birthday cake. Vanessa, like Anne, is not a chocolate cake person, so I'm making the yellow cake, and I whipped up some fluffy orange frosting to go on it. It's tasty, and I'm hoping that the orange flavor will become more pronounced as it mellows a bit.
Felíz, felíz en tu dia, Vane! Mua!
Fluffy Orange Frosting
4 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
In large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together.
Add the citrus rinds and juices and beat until the frosting is very smooth and fluffy.
