Tips for Making A Lemon Flavored Glaze

  • If your glaze is too thick you can add more lemon juice.
  • If the glaze is too thin, you can add more powdered sugar.
  • If you want more lemon flavor, you can add more lemon juice or lemon zest.
  • Bring in more flavor by using extracts. Vanilla and almond are my favorites but you can experiment with other flavors.
