1 tsp!. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 1/2 c!. confectioners' sugar

Try this recipe!. It is similar to the one I used to make orange buttercream frosting and I thought it came out great!. Since you want a lighter lemon flavor then you might want to scale back on the lemon ingredients!. The orange buttercream had a definite orange flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make your basic butter cream frosting!. Rather than add vanilla extract use lemon extract!. You will also need the zest of at least one lemon!. The zest is where almost all of you flavor is going to come from!. If you add a lot of lemon juice you will have a runnier frosting and you will end up adding more sugar and that will dilute your flavor!.

BUTTER CREAM FOR FROSTING
1 lb powdered sugar
16 ounces butter or shortening
4 ounces of liquid!. (lemon juice in your case) or milk, cream

Cream sugar and shortening, scraping sides of bowl and beaters often!. Add liquid one ounce at a time, again scraping bowl after each addition!. When icing peaks it is of correct consistency!. Keep covered to prevent drying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
