  1. I made this to top Recipe#95878 for a birthday party. Just to up the lemon flavor, I added a packet of True Lemon also. It was a little too stiff after mixing, so I added some extra lemon juice to make it more spreadable. I really liked how the frosting was just tart enough to keep it from being super-sweet. Thanks for posting!
