Notes

The icing will be thick, but pourable. If it is too thick to pour, add more lemon juice, a few drops at a time, until the icing is thin enough to pour. If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, a 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until the icing thickens.
Nutrition based on using glaze to ice 12 cupcakes, 12 slice cake or loaf.
