![I've made several wedding cakes [including my daughters] with this icing and have had MANY compliments on this recipe.](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/tlVIlaGnBhwapVgudQJ4XceKMDkRNMcx-SkoSla3bWjxwIiOZYGcGGhKbjXFkAa74EjPbkdWlJ2lc9_eY-JBaQfjeftco8PgpRmD84A)
I got this recipe when I started cake decorating back in 1977 and have had many compliments that it is the best icing ever. It's good because the lemon juice cuts down the sweetness and gives it the unique lemony flavor.
