Notes
- Unflavored Gelatin- A flavorless, odorless thickening agent that makes the frosting easy to pipe with a frosting bag. You could also use clearjel for this too. You can find unflavored gelatin in the Jello and pudding aisle of the grocery store!
- Use on our lemon pudding cupcakes or any other variety!
- Keep cupcakes in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
