Easy to make, light and fluffy with lemony taste. Mine turned out perfect the first time!

Loved this recipe. I used it to ice lemon cupcakes for a Super Bowl party. They were a BIG hit!

This recipe is very good!! I would recommend making it ahead of time and refrigerating it for 5-6 hours before spreading on a cake. It was a little too soupy to spread right after it was made. So yummy!

For some reason, my frosting never comes out as amazing as the pictures would have me believe, no matter how long I use the electric mixer! It just isn't fluffy or creamy enough! I've tried cream cheese frosting twice now, both times it would've been better from a can! But I'll try the creamy chocolate frosting before I give up :)
