I only have lemon extract... no lemons.. If I were to make a lemon buttercream how much of the extract would I use???? I really don't want to go back out to the store!! I live in the middle of nowhere!!!

Thanks..

I haven't tried the lemon extract yet but I found that using a one for one ratio of other flavorings made the bc taste too strong (ie: instead of 1 tsp vanilla I used 1 tsp. raspberry flavoring). Maybe start by adding a 1/4 tsp at a time until it tastes right? That's what I plan on doing next time icon_biggrin.gif
