- Add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, making sure to combine completely.
- Once all the powdered sugar is combined, add the remainder of the ingredients and beat well.
- Frost cooled cupcakes either with a filled pastry bag with a round tip, or snip a hole out of a ziplock bag and pipe onto the cupcakes.

- So good!
Notes
I think you could try a lemon cake mix, omit the lemon extract or juice if you do, with the exception of the frosting, leave it in there!
