Glazed cupcakes sidell

For Mother's Day we bake these sweet cupcakes, we can take them with us on our surprise picnic. It's a little bit of extra work with a glaze in four colours and it takes a bit more time but we do not mind because it is for Mum!

Add 3 drops of lemon juice.

Spoon white icing on the cupcakes.

Turn the cakes gently so the icing spreads.

Making a glaze for 4 cupcakes

Stir 100g icing sugar with 1 -2 tablespoons water and 3 drops lemon juice, the gl;aze should be just liquid.

Colour it in pastel colours by smearing a tiny drop of food colouring on your whisk. Careful, soon it is too much.

We make white, pink, pale green and lilac glazes, the first three are obvious but lilac is blue mixed with red.

Work carefully, a hard glaze is quickly damaged. Little dents disappear by rubbing softly with a moist fingertip.
