Since I'm lactose-intolerant, I altered the icing a bit. I simply mixed together water and powdered sugar and then added it to melted white chocolate. It worked great and tasted delicious! Also, as I had no sour cream in the house, I simply added extra melted margarine, which worked well. I also had no orange, but added some passion fruit juice. It came out great!
