For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat cream cheese. If you don't have mandarin oranges, canned peaches or apricots can be substituted. Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. For a more intense vanilla flavor, use French vanilla pudding mix.
