Frosting was too stiff so I added 2T of milk then 1/2 a tub of cool whip and then it was divine! Perfect consistency for my lemon cake.

This was good tasting but next time I'll add more lemon. I like lemon frosting real lemony! This tasted like buttercream with a touch of lemon.

really good, super quick, and extremely easy. i added a splash more lemon juice for consistency after initially beating it, but otherwise no changes made. **edit-so quick and easy i made it again 3 days later for a batch of cupcakes...

Great frosting! Really tasty. I didn't have fresh lemon juice, so I used the bottled kind and added a little lemon extract to make up for it. I may have used less butter though.

Great recipe when you add 1.5 tbsp milk and decrease sugar by 1/4 cup. I found that to ice a 2layer 9" cake, you need to 1.5 teh receipe as there was BARELY enough to ice the cake.

This icing is perfect on top of sugar cookies. I always use fresh lemon juice (just make sure you get all the seeds out!) with this, and I get requests to make them again and again!

Very good, very sweet, but had to use milk to make it spreadable. Fresh lemon juice is a must.

Used on Greek Lemon Cake for my husband's birthday, and the combo was great. The icing, when made by the recipe, was too thick and unspreadable, but this is easily remedied by adding more liquid. I added extra lemon juice and some buttermilk until I had the consistency I wanted. Thanks!

So great!! We made this with Lemon Cake and all four of us (no kids included) ate the icing with just a bit of cake. The icing was so good. Don't think we changed the recipe at all. It has been over a month, and we are still talking about it. Got some fresh lemons today, so I think I will be making again.

This is a great lemon icing. I used a little bit less icing sugar so that it stayed quite soft. I can think of a number of types of desserts to use this on.

this was just what I was looking for! I added one half more of a tsp of vanilla, about 3 tbs of skim milk and a little more lemon juice.

This lemon frosting turned out just beautifully with a few modifications. I added 1 teaspoon (effectively doubling)vanilla extract, then added 2 T. cream and 1 T. milk as it was a little dry as written. I also used high quality bottled lemon juice (3 T.). Went so well with the lemon cake I made. I topped the whole thing off with a little shredded coconut and it was awesome! Everyone gobbled it up. Would be wonderful for Easter. Thanks for a great recipe!

I too made a lemon sheet cake from a box and did not have any frosting. So I made this. I think next time I will use lemon extract instead of the Vanilla. Also, I put in some lemon zest from the yellow of the lemon before I juiced the lemon. This is great and creamy!
