For the frosting, beat butter for 3-5 minutes until pale in color.
Add powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice (about 2 Tbsp from fresh lemon) and cream. Beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.
Notes
One lemon, depending on the size will yield anywhere from 1-2 Tablespons of zest and juice. For the frosting, add what tastes good to YOU. More lemon zest for more flavor.
