Frosting

I kind of made up the frosting, but here is the recipe. 

1 (8 ounce) package of Cream Cheese

1/4 cup of Butter

Lemon Zest (about a teaspoon)

1 cup pf Powered Sugar 

Directions

1. Cream butter and cream cheese together

2. Add lemon zest and mix well

3. Get your arms of steal out ant mix in the powered sugar 1/4 cup at a time. 

(If you want it to be a stiffer consistency, add more sugar. Or heat up and create a glaze.)
