This frosting was a hit with my coworkers. I used it to frost some mexican vanilla cupcakes and it was just the right amount of tartness. Be sure to add the zest of the lemon to the recipe. It makes a huge difference in the flavor. Use a stand mixer, if at all possible, to really whip the air in to make it light and fluffy. Yum!

I found this recipe looking for something to accompany a lemon cake. I made the recipe as it says, but ended up adding more lemon juice in small amounts until it tasted perfect for me. I wasn't a fan of the vanilla in it and will probably omit it next time I make it to see how it tastes without it. Overall, a very nice recipe and all of the guests enjoyed the refreshing flavour!

This a perfect lemon frosting. I used it for cupcakes and it came out great. Because of the other reviews saying it was really sweet, I reduced the amount of sugar slightly and used unsalted butter. The frosting was fluffy and light and had just the right amount of lemon flavor.

This ia great frosting, but the actual recipe on the Sprinkles container calls for the zest of one lemon in it as well. It also HAS to be real lemon juice, otherwise it doesnt taste right.
