First, if you do like beach_ch... says you'll have a runny icing. I make mine with vegetable shortening, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk. Sorry I don't measure anything....In a mixer bowl put in about 1 cup of shortening (crisco) 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp milk, 2 cups powdered sugar....begin mixing on very low speed, continue until it is a smooth consistancy, and spreadable. Add more powdered sugar and/or shortening and/or liquids until it tastes and feels right. You want it to spread nicely, but not be runny or crumbly.
