Number Of Ingredients 14

2 stick butter softened to room temperature
2 lb powdered sugar
7 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 small box instant lemon pudding mix
few drops of yellow food color until desired color is reaches
1-2 medium lemon & limes sliced thin for garnish
8-10 maraschino cherry, halves
12-16 lemon slice candies for garnish, optional
10-12 red candy pieces, for garnish i used gum drops
3-4 Tbsp evaporated milk, as desired to reach spreading consistency
3-4 yellow silk roses, cut to fit into center of cake, or make your own
silk leaves to line cake platter or some other greenery if desired, optional
extra lime slice halves to go between roses as garnish

Steps:

1. Prepare the frosting by creaming the butter with the powdered sugar and pudding mix. These are some of the ingredients used for this recipe. I used some additional ingredients to create this recipe.
2. Then add in the lemon & lime Juice and yellow food coloring if desired to add a more vibrant lemon color.
3. Then add evaporated milk if needed in 1 tablespoon increments, until frosting reaches the spreading consistency you desire.
4. Garnish cake with additional Lemon and lime slices if desired, and accent with maraschino cherry halves. I used green silk leaves to line the cake platter, before adding the cake. I also used silk Roses in the center of the cake to make an impressive presentation.
5. Please Note: Because I created this frosting for an event that was 650 Miles away, I made what I knew was more than I needed for the cake. Extra frosting can be stored in the fridge to be used at a later time if desired. This frosting was created for the Yellow Rose of Texas Cake in honor of my great friend Phyllis Lively who lives in Texas and is a member of our Just A Pinch Family. She is a BEAUTIFUL YELLOW ROSE !https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/yellow-rose-of-texas-lemon-lime-bundt-cake.html?p=1
