Tips:

For a smoother frosting, use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
If you don't have an orange on hand, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract instead.
To make a creamier frosting, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the frosting mixture.
If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
For a fluffy frosting, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and airy.
To make a glossy frosting, add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to the frosting mixture.
If you're using the frosting to decorate a cake, make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting it.
Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
