gonk That would be way too sour, plus it wouldn't cook properly then. There is only supposed to be a ' hint ' of lemon. You aren't meant to drown in it. That is also what the lemon zest is for. 3nodding

Also a whole 'bag' of sugar?!! What size of bag are we talking here? That sounds a little excessive. sweatdrop

A whole bag of confectioner's sugar is often needed to frost a entire cake. If you don't want to use that much then don't I guess sweatdrop It took that much for me a frost a cake. sad
But of course it depends on the size of your cake anyway..... sweatdrop
