I used this recipe as I do not like sweet icing and I was a bit reluctant at first. I took a taste before adding the vanilla and cringed. But added the vanilla (a little extra for my liking) and it was a huge difference. I used this icing for my son's bday cake. He requested lemon so I added some lemon juice to it and it was amazing. It was a huge hit even with the kids. I would use it again and again and again....

I liked this recipe. It was soooo stark white I had to make it on a chocolate cake, it was beautiful. I will admit I doubled the recipe, because I always you more icing, I didn't want any chocolate crumbs to mess up the look. I like icings that are not too sweet and this fit the bill. Other members of my family that tasted it thought it wasn't sweet enough. There you go, 6 people more than one opinion. ha

My husband and I have lived in NJ for the last 28 years. We have 2 sons, both grown and no longer living at home, only one toy fox terrior dog now, 2 parakeets and 2 finches! I enjoy finding, using and sharing recipes I have found on the net. Also camping, working outside in the yard, family and good friend get togethers and just relaxing. This does not mean cleaning, lol.
