YUMMY! I used the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon and added yellow food coloring. I put this icing on top of some sour cream cookies and they were absolutely amazing!

This is really good icing. I add more lemon juice which gives it a kick.

Very nice taste. I needed to think it out with a little extra lemon juice though it was to stiff with just the 2 tablespoons. It is tastey and perfect for the lemon cake I made. Thanks-

This is a keeper. Sure you may have to add a little extra lemon juice or, as I did, a little milk...icing is like that..this icing is lemony and not too sweet.

Delicious! Has just the right amount of lemon flavor, it isn't too overpowering. I used fresh juice and some yellow food coloring to make it look extra lemony.

i used 2 1/2 cups of the sugar and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to add more lemon flavour and make it thinner as people were complaining it was too hard to spread. Ended up tasting excellent, very lemony but a little too runny. A little more confectioners sugar would have done the trick so maybe use 3 cups like the recipe says but add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice.

I found it to be too sweet and too thick, so I added a bit of softened light cream cheese. I then used this to ice a lemon cake, but I feel it would be better suited as a lemon cookie or sugar cookie frosting since it is so sweet and thick.

I frosted sugar cookies with this and it was really good. I ended up adding another teaspoon of lemon juice because I didn't think the flavor was strong enough, but I still think it might have needed more.

I halved this to use with a lemon box mix cake. It was really sweet! I mean REALLY sweet! It didn't spread too well, either, as it was really thick.

I needed a quick and easy lemon icing and this one was perfect. Great taste and easy, couldn't ask for more.

The perfect lemon frosting!! I like things really lemony, so instead of vanilla extract I used lemon. Frosted a lemon cake with it and it disappeared.

I'm not sure what everyone was talking about....I needed at least 6 Tbsb. of fresh lemon juice to get this to spreading consistency. Also, it was still too sweet with this extra juice. I think I'll look for something with less butter and more lemon flavor.

I made this frosting to frost a lemon cake. It was a little too strong for the cake but would probably be yummy on top of a plain white cake. Pretty good and will probably make again.

This was really YUMMY! It was perfect the way that the lemon cut the sweetness of the icing.
