Lemon butter icing or passionfruit butter icing , orange butter icing all good . am flirting with feijoa butter icing conceptbut have not yet actually experimented with this .

This is what I use .

11/2 C icing sugar
2 tspns custard powder
1/2 tspn vanilla
2 Tblspns melted butter

Mix sifted dry ingredients with butter & vanilla and enough boiling water to make a nice thick icing.

Might try just icing sugar with lemon juice but the passionfruit butter icing appeals.I'm taking some to a morning tea next week.

Ditto the passionfruit butter icing.I use this and its great.I use the sweetened syrup you can buy in small jars.

I made a feijoa butter icing.Simmered feijoas with a little sugar until well mushed, cooled till barely warm then popped in into an electric mixer,whipped in butter, (it was quite thick) then added icing sugar.Really made the difference to my feijoa cake.

Is anyone else having difficulty buying real lemon essence! No problems with vanilla, almond, coconut etc but I want real lemon essence and Pak N Save hasn't had it for months.
