I just made this frosting for my daughter's birthday cake. We love it!!! I did not have lemon extract so used a pinch of lemon peel and a drizzle of lemon juice instead, and we also used a few drips of regular red food coloring in place of the gel food color. The frosting is fluffy, pink, pretty, and tasty; and it was easy to make. We will use this again.
