I made a lemon cake with the lemon sleeve filling. Frosted the cake with BC. Would it be too much if I added some Real Lemon, lemon juice to the BC that I'm using for the border and cornelli lace?
TIA,
Kat
My only thought is to make a batch and find out. If you do, let us know how it turns out.
The cake is for someone else & I don't have any scraps or extra's to try it on. I don't want to give it to a Customer if it's too much lemon. Oh well

My experience with Reallemon is that it is really, really strong. I make lemon buttercream by putting 1/2 to 1 tsp. grated lemon zest into my regular buttercream icing--this way there is just a hint of lemon, especiall if I'm using lemon cake and filling.
Thank you, I will keep that in mind for the next time.

Suebee, Oh that sounds so good. I will keep that in mind too. Where can you get the syrup? Some place like Gordon Foods (Restaurant supply)

You could also use a real lemon extract. I made a lemon- lime cake this past weekend, and it was good. I alternated that lemon sleeve filling, with a homemade lime filling. It was refreshing.
I use lemon juice in my BC with vanilla and almond flavoring.
This last week-end I made a lemon cake used my BC no almond though- allergies at the party.
Anyway I covered the cake with fondant flavored with lemonade flavor and it was really good. People came back for more.
Good Luck.

Is this a trick question?? Too much lemon?? No way!
I have a cake that is often requested: Lemon cake, made with lemon juice instead of water, lemon buttercream made with fresh lemon juice and filled with homemade TART lemon filling.
Can you say PUCKER??
It's yummmmy!!
Thanks everyone! 
I'll no better for next time. I guess I'll have to make a small one ( a few actually) for home to try it different ways so I'll know what's the best way to go. I didn't want to use my customer as a Guinea Pig. Thanks again.

You are so right gateaux. I LOVE lemon! Actually made a lemon cake today, with lemon buttercream and filled with lemon curd. I could hardly let it out the door I was so desperate to try it. Still haven't washed the mixer bowl because there are still a few smudges of icing that I haven't managed to eat.
Too much lemon? No such thing!
