Frosting
- Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan with a whisk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid sticking until the frosting thickens.
- Place the frosting in a bowl and leave in the refrigerator to cool. Before using it, blend it in a blender until you get a smooth cream that you put in a piping bag to use to decorate the cupcakes.
