Adding Extracts To Any Buttercream Frosting Recipe

I've added lemon extract to my buttercream icing before and it taste fine.
Hey stratus01...noticed that this was your first post and wanted to welcome you to Cakecentral...you're gonna love it here!
You can add any conbinations of flavorings to buttercream. Lemon extract is just one of the many that can be added. The combination I like best is Vanilla, Butter and Almond extracts.
Hi!! 
Yes you can. The only thing I think you need to watch out for is when adding extracts to royal icing. Some extracts are made with oil, and that will essentially ruin your royal icing.
But with buttercream you can add just about anything. Try Grand Marnier.
Sorry stratus01... when I saw MrsMissey's comment, I realized you're new to CakeCentral. Welcome aboard and you couldn't have come to a better place for advice, ideas, recipes, etc... again, welcome to CakeCentral

May I ask how do I get a diamond effect on a cake made with buttercream frosting? Can you tell me if butter cream frosting will hold up in the car for a 4-5 hour drive? Does anyone use Better Cream? I think it holds up better but tastes gross because I love sweat frosting? Where can I buy edible images online? Okay there I said it. I have been holding in these questions and now I am asking for help.
Hi,
I can help you with one question. Your buttercream frosting should hold up fine in the car for 4-5 hours. Sorry, I have not heard of Better Cream. Maybe someone else can help you on that one.
