Lemon Buttercream recipe tutorial - fresh lemons

Here's the best lemon buttercream recipe ever and how to make it! All in this easy to follow lemon buttercream recipe tutorial. The secret? Fresh lemons!!
Lemon Buttercream
2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp salt
3 pounds (12 cups) confectioners sugar (pure cane)
2 heaping TBS lemon zest
In your mixer, first blend your butter and lemon juice on low until well mixed with your paddle attachment. (Don't skip this step because your frosting will separate if you don't blend the lemon juice well with the butter)
Add salt and confectioners sugar and mix on low until well blended scraping sides.
Hand mix in the lemon zest.
*For a stiffer frosting, you can add more confectioners sugar 1/4 cup at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

This butter cream is beautiful what piping tip did you use for the top on the cake? Also I’m currently making the candied lemons and they smell so good 😊

Ooooo yummy! Candied lemons are my favorite part! The tip I used was a 4B

So cool! How many cupcakes would you say this can pipe if I swirled it?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I’d say about 2 dozen but it all depends how you swirl it
