Tips:

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use frozen or canned orange juice concentrate. Just be sure to thaw the frozen juice concentrate before using it.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you cream it with the sugar. This will help the mixture to be light and fluffy.
Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and tough. Beat them just until they form stiff peaks.
Bake the squares until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
Let the squares cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
