I absolutely love this frosting. I used lemon zest instead of lemon juice because it gives a stronger flavor. I used this to frost chocolate cupcakes and they were fantastic! I will be making this again.

This is amazing frosting! Creamy and delicious! I ended up halving the recipe because I didn't have that much cream cheese or confectioner's sugar on hand. I decided to still put in 2tbs of lemon juice, which made it nice and tangy.

I've got to agree with another reviewer on the lemon juice making this too runny. I also scaled the sugar amount to my preference.

Frosting was too runny with the stated amounts. I had to add quite a bit more icing sugar, and consequently lemon extract. It was very smooth and the cream cheese gave it a pleasant tang. It does keep its shape even if it looks a bit runny. Not really a life-altering or amazing frosting. I probably won't make it again, but thanks! :)

Awesome and creamy. I also cut back the sugar as it would have been too sweet. I also added a few drops of pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor! Yummy!

As written, only an average recipe. Too much playing around with measurements to get it to proper consistency to rate this any higher. I used only half the amount of lemon juice (and added some zest to replace lost lemon flavor) and it still was thinner than I would have liked. And, as others have remarked, it really is too sweet. By the time I manipulated the sugar and juice measurements and added lemon zest, I really wasn't making this recipe anymore. Since I was using this to pipe on cupcakes and needed a sturdier frosting, rather than add more confectioners sugar I added a couple teaspoons of meringue powder, which helped. If I was to make this in the future I would still use only 1 T. of lemon juice, and perhaps double the cream cheese.

very delicious! I used this to frost cupcakes and only needed half the recipe, but i made the whole recipe anyway so I can freeze some for a later use. The frosting is even better the next day after the flavors have had some time to blend.

This was an alright frosting, I found it to be a little too sweet though so I would reccomend using it on something like shortbread, rather than sweeter goods.

Wonderful frosting! I too used it on the Lemon Gold Cake and the family just loves it. I think I may try it with orange juice and try making the Lemon Gold cake with orange zest, instead of lemon. May be good made up with orange. Thanks for the recipe!

Not bad, but far too sweet (even though I cut back on the sugar). I made a double batch and frosted a double-layer lemon cake.

Family loved this recipe. I doubled the lemon juice and added about 2 teaspoons of lemon zest to the mix and then added enough extra powdered sugar to compensate for the extra juice. It was super lemony. I iced a lemon wedding cake that is my wife's favorite (I'll post the recipe for the cake soon).

Deliciously sweet! I scaled the recipe down to 16 servings. Added 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon zest. Only used 2 drops of yellow food coloring to give a better yellow color. I used this recipe to fill and top the Lemon Gold Cake recipe.

Excellent. I liked the sweetness of the frosting, it balanced the lemon cake I made quite nicely. However, one batch was not quite enough to frost an entire double layer cake, so I made a second batch. We had leftover frosting then, but that was okay. I did not add any food coloring, it did not need it.

Good recipe. I did not use all the additional sugar recommended, only about 1/4 c more, to taste. I also beat it for a while, and my mixer had a higher setting for frosting, so after combining everything, I used that. I made two batches, actually, for two dozen cupcakes, since we dyed some to do some detail frosting (baseballs!). There was extra, but I don't have any complaints about the amount. Didn't use lemon, used vanilla instead, and it was really good.
