I've just finished icing the cupcakes for tomorrow now all I have to do is decorate them and pack them off to be collected tomorrow by my friend Sarah. I've made a pink Italian meringue buttercream and a chocolate buttercream icing to pipe on the top. Here's a little photo of my handiwork.
I much prefer the Italian meringue buttercream which is light and fluffy and not overly cloying in the sweet stakes. Made using a hot sugar syrup, egg whites and butter it's a little tricky but once you get the hang of the precision it's easy as cake!
