Step 1

Beat butter in small bowl; gradually beat in marshmallow creme. Add powdered sugar, orange peel and vanilla, beating until blended.
Gradually add orange juice and food color, if desired, beating to desired consistency. About 1 1/3 cups filling.

Refrigerate before serving. 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes.
