  • 3. Gradually add about half the sifted icing sugar, beating constantly.

  • Chocolate: make up the basic recipe and add 2 tablespoons sifted cocoa powder to the icing sugar.
  • Brandy: add two tablespoons of brandy to the mixture for a beautify brandy frosting that teams well with my fruit mince cupcakes.
