I liked the way this icing got a crust on it (really don't like those thick, creamy whipped frostings) ... but this was too tart with the lemon juice. Hubby took one bite of it ... made a sour face and then only ate the cake. Next time I will use milk instead of lemon juice and add 1 teaspon of lemon rind so we get the lemon flavor without the pucker!

It sure is yummy! I used bottled lemon juice and it turned out great! I used this icing on a boxed lemon cake mix. Thanks for sharing!

Yummmmm! I was looking for a basic icing recipe, so I used milk instead of lemon juice. I guess I put about 5 Tbsp of milk and the icing was a big hit!

soooooo good & soooo easy!! i tried the original recipe and liked it alot, then i tweaked it a bit and now i love it alot. :) i used 2 sticks of butter, a 2lb bag of powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, 5-6 tablespoons of lemon juice & proceeded as directed. I beat the daylights out of it and it came out very light & fluffy! absolutely fab-u-loso indeed! perfect lemon buttercream icing!

I added an extra 2 Tbsp lemon juice and used this to frost the Luscious Lemon Cake from this site, which I baked as a birthday cake in a 9x13" pan. It crusted nicely, so I was able to decorate the cake without the colors running. Did I mention it's absolutely DELISH???

Lovely recipe, fast and easy. I substituted butter for low-fat margarine and replaced the lemon juice with orange concentrate. It's a flavorful icing and was a nice topping to my chocolate cake!

Taste was delicious, but not what I expected in consistancy, more like a frosting if made according to the recipe. For my purposes made a simple lemon confectioners glaze instead.

Wow! This was a FANTASTIC icing recipe! I actually added extra lemon juice and a little fresh squeezed O.J. to make it not so sour...turned out wonderful. I didn't taste too much butter but just enough! Thank you for the fantastic recipe!

Very easy to make. It seemed almost to sweet for icing...if that is possible. I will reduce the amount of sugar I use next time. Mine turned out more like a glaze.

This is a really great recipe and it was quite easy too. The lemon icing was suberb- light and buttery. I followed the exact recipe except I added a little bit of extra lemon juice. It was easy, delicious and perfect over my Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake (also found on this site) Thanks for the great recipe!

Excellent recipe! I used it to decorate my lemon cupcakes for Easter. I divided the icing in half and tinted one half yellow and the other half green. The description for this recipe is perfect: it is delicious and so very easy to make. Thanks, Carol. I will share this recipe with my whole family.

I was not impressed with this recipe - I think it needs another background flavor besides the butter (which is pretty much all I tasted after the lemon). I'll search for another recipe, thanks.

This frosting is amaing better than bakery. I substituted orange for lemon and also added freshly fine grated orange peel. I made a butter cake from the box and put a orange glaze on top of cake and then used this frosting, best cake ever.
