Ingredients
- cupcakes, with a paper case that rises above the level of the cake
- 250 g fondant icing powder
- 25 ml water
- stock syrup, made of equal parts sugar and water
Method
Put your fondant icing powder in a mixing bowl and set it over a pan with a bit of water in it. Set the heat under the pan to medium.
Add 25 ml of water to the icing powder and mix until it has completely melted.
Add a little bit of the stock syrup and blend thoroughly to give you a smooth finish.
Once the fondant is a consistency that you can easily pour, pour a little over your cupcake. Move the cupcake around so the icing runs over the top evenly. Give it a few taps on the table to dislodge any air bubbles, you can then pop them when they rise to the surface.
