  • Slowly add powdered sugar. Add up to 2.5 cups of powdered sugar until you get the desired consistency.
  • If your icing is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or a splash of milk. If your icing is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Your icing should be thick enough to hold its shaped once its been piped. It should not be runny, or it may drip down the sides of the macaron.
