I have a request for a lemon cake and I want to do a lemon frosting. But the only thing handmade I've made is the Class Buttercream 
Has anyone made a lemon buttercream frosting? I was thinking I can subsitute the vanilla extract with lemon extract. Do you know if this would work? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
For my lemon buttercream, I use my butter-based buttercream recipe (the one with both butter and Crisco in it) and add the clear Vanilla and if they want real zesty buttercream I add lemon oil to it, but if they want it more subtle I add finely grated lemon zest. I don't like lemon extract, I think it has a weird flavor and an awful aftertaste. Hope that helps some! 
I agree, I do not like the taste of lemon extract, somthing strange about it. I add lemon juice to my BC for lemon icing. Look under the recipe section, I think there may be some recipies for lemon BC. If not, allrecipies.com has several that might work for you.
