Looking for other flavors? Try our Cream Cheese Glaze or Vanilla Glaze! The flavor is pure zingy, lemony goodness: just the right balance of sweet and tart. It’s endlessly versatile: this lemon glaze is for cake, pound cake, sweet breads, lemon loaves, muffins, cupcakes…and even donuts.
Squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice into a bowl. Fresh squeezed lemon juice is key! Avoid the bottled store-bought stuff, which has a dull, acidic flavor. The best tool for squeezing? We like this press juicer. Mix it with 1 cup powdered sugar until a thick icing forms. That’s it! Easy as pie. Or glaze? It’s got a nice, medium-bodied consistency and a zesty, punchy flavor.

The lemon is one of our top flavors to use in cooking: it adds a pop of brightness to anything it touches! Here are a few favorite lemon recipes:
Lemon glaze for cake: Use on pound cake or loaf cake; also works on angel food cake. If you think you’ll need more glaze, make 1.5 or 2 times the recipe. For muffins or cupcakes: Use a fork to drizzle over muffins; it should be enough for 12. For loaves or sweet breads: Try it on Strawberry Bread, Banana Bread or a Lemon Bread. For a light drizzle, you can get away with half the recipe (see the Strawberry Bread below).
Go for Lemon Bars, Lemon Bread, Lemon Cake, or Lemon Curd. Try lemonades: Strawberry Lemonade, Mint Lemonade, Cucumber Lemonade or Ginger Lemonade. Go for bright and brilliant Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Try Lemon Ricotta Pasta or Lemon Rice. Opt for Lemon Soda or Lemon Tea.
