How to Make Lemon Glaze Frosting:
The glaze on top is one of my all time favorites for breads and cookies. It’s a simple vanilla glaze made with powered sugar, lemon juice and a splash of milk.

What a beautiful loaf of zucchini bread! It looks more like a teacake and I agree…the lemon glaze must really make it. It looks scrumptious! And, that pretty packaging? The cherry on top! So glad you’re enjoying Bakin’ Friends. I would join if I wasn’t trying to keep up with my blog while writing a cookbook. Thanks for sharing, girl!

Did any one try this lemon glaze as the recipe stated? Could there be a mistake in the amount of lemon juice. Was so dry it wouldn’t spread nor drizzle. I add 1teaspoon of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and is great.

Hey Stacy, if it’s too dry, I suggest giving it a splash of milk! Hope you enjoyed this recipe!
