6. Sift the icing sugar and add half to the butter mix along with the vanilla paste and orange zest, beat until combined, then add the second half of the icing sugar.
7. Add a little frosting to your cake board, attach you first layer of cake, cover with a layer of frosting, then another round of cake and continue until you have stacked all three cakes.
