    i found the lemon to be a little strong when i first made it though it wasn't nearly as bad the following morning. i think next time, i'd cut it in half. it was also a little runny but i just dipped the cupcake tops in the icing & it stiffened a little by this morning, too. - 2/11/10

    Incredible!
    I love this recipe! It is perfect on spice cake, too. We always make a double batch so it can be a thick, delicious treat. - 10/9/12

    Incredible!
    Really, really good - I put it on my carrot cake. I omitted the lemon zest. Not a skimpy little portion either. I used the low-fat brick kind of cream cheese (not tub). I made 2 batches, added a bit o' peppermint extract to 2nd to frost my chocolate cupcakes, with crushed ppmnt candy on top. A+ - 2/2/11

    Very Good
    Used it on my banana bars that were supposed to be cookies. A little thin. - 6/30/10
