For a richer flavor, consider using a butter yellow cake mix.
If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the amount of instant pudding mix.
Garnish with extra mandarin orange segments or pineapple chunks for a pretty presentation.
For extra moistness, brush the cake layers with pineapple juice before frosting.
