THIS CAKE IS EXCELLENT IN SUMMER VERY LIGHT CAKE AND NOT REALLY REALLY SWEET JUST FRUITY

Edit Note: I added this thumbnail because I thought it was an excellent decorator idea for this cake. The mandarin oranges done up like little pumpkins is just adorable! Next time I make this I am going to do that!

It was my turn to provide "treat day" today at work.

I decided to make this cake, or a variation of it.
I used a Dunkin Heinz orange supreme cake mix instead of the yellow mix as directed above.
The can of mandarin oranges was a small 11 oz. can. then I made it as directed above.

Instead of the coolwhip pudding icing, I frosted with cream cheese frosting and topped with chunk pineapple (drained)

It was a hit and several people asked for the recipe.
