Add in vanilla essence and mix well again
Next add in your dry ingredients little at a time and alternate with the orange juice and mix well throughly.

Orange Buttercream Recipe
Ingredients
225g unsalted butter (room temp)
2 cups of icing sugar (Mental note to myself: Half the sugar, it's really sweet even to someone who has a sweet tooth!) So for those who doesn't have, I will
strongly advised that you use only 1 to 1.5 cups of Icing Sugar here)
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Cream the butter until light and fluffy
Add in the sugar batch by batch and mix well
Then add in the vanilla essence
Continue to hand whisk or on low speed if you are using a mixer.
When the mixture is smooth and creamy, you are done!
This is a basic buttercream recipe that you can edit to become whatever flavors that you want.
For me, I added few drops of orange food coloring (Redman) which has a nice orangey smell. Add until you get the color that you want.
You can store your frosted cupcakes in the fridge and take out 20-30 mins before eating so the cream would have melted just nicely! Cheers!
