It lacked vanilla flavor, so I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract. I also added a little more sugar and less milk to thicken it up. overall it was tasty, but needs to be more creamy.

it really didn't taste right... so i did add a little more vanilla it helped and I also had to add a little more milk "cause i started a 1/4 cup of milk at a time... I think that next time i am gonna use heavy cream (don't know if this also made a difference i used unsalted butter usually i use salted... oh well got to keep trying until i get it right and i will... I promise that I will...!

I didn't try this recipe yet, but I've been making frosting for a while now. For the people who are saying it was too runny: if your frosting is too thin (like icing then there's a high chance you added more milk than powdered sugar. You need to add a good amount of powdered sugar in order for your frosting to have a good spreading consistency. The more powdered sugar you add, the more thick the frosting will be. If it becomes too thick, just add some more milk to even it out!
