I am trying to make an Orange Dreamsicle cake that Macsmom had suggested. I am supposed to use a vanilla mousse filling but I am not sure how to make that. Does anuone have a recipe they can share or thoughts on a different filling for this cake?
Thanks 
I used the filling from this recipe. http://cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-4643-0-Orange-creamsicle.html Except in place of the cool whip, I used pastry pride. Everyone loved it. The cake mix recipe on that link has Macsmom's old recipe, I believe she changed it once she discovered the wasc.
Oh, and I think I remember from reading the gourmet thread, Macsmom's mousse was bettercream/pastry pride and pudding mix. Whip the bettercream, add pudding mix and whip until thick.

I used Macsmom's recipe because she rocks!!
It is 1 box white
2 cup melted orange sherbert
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 yoplait orange creme yogurt invidual cups
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding
3 eggs
2 TBS. oil
2 Tsp. orange extract
I doubled this to get a two tier cake plus a handful of cupcakes. Also, I couldn't find orange extract at my grocery so I subst. 1 tsp. of coconut extract . Smells sooooo good and my DH has been licking the bowl instead of waiting for the cakes to cool, lol!!!

That is why I was asking - as I knew there were some changes to this recipe and I am going to try making it in a few weeks and I wanted to know what was the correct one to use.
But if yours turned out great I am going to try the recipe you posted. The Gourmet link is just way toooooo long and after a while you don't know what is correct.
Thanks for answering my question.
Awesome...we are going to eat the cupcakes tonight and the cake tomorrow . I will take a census and let you know, lol!
I know what you mean about the changes. I actually copied it from a thread yesterday where Macsmom wrote it and then I saw it the other way? Probably can make it either, not a very specific recipe 
ok, Peridot..the census is in. I had my hubby, three kids, two neighbors and their 5 kids combined all try the Orange/Coconut Dreamsicle recipe......a RESOUNDING YUMMMMMMMM! They all loved it!
Couple of points I would make though...make SURE you use Betty Crocker and not DH...DH will make it too sticky and chewy tasting. Also, minimize the cocnut as it is a very overwelming flavor or just go with orange. Everyone loved the coconut but it wasn't the TRUE Orange Dreamsicle cake . I also filled it with Vanilla Pudding mixed with Cool Whip. Next time I will use 2 cool whip containers to one pudding...it came out very thick 1 to 1 and I had to add some milk to thin it out.
Good Luck...let me know what you think !
