Bettina's Confectioner's Icing
2 T-cream
½ t-vanilla extract
½ t-lemon extract
1 C-powdered sugar
Mix the cream and extracts. Gradually add the powdered sugar sifted through a strainer. Add enough sugar to form a creamy icing which will easily spread upon the cake. (More than a cup of sugar may be needed.)
