Cupcake icing

Cupcake frosting can be sweet or sour, tart or cloying. But the most popular combination in the world of desserts is the traditional combination of sweet cupcakes and sour frosting. The key ingredient in the frosting is always one product - natural freshly squeezed lemon juice.

How to cook Cupcake icing

Step 1

Cupcake icing

Sift the powdered sugar through a sieve and pour it into a tall glass or deep bowl. Add lemon juice and beat at low speed with a blender or mixer.

Cupcake icing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use lime juice, orange juice, or even a small amount of vinegar for acidity. For a non-citrus option, a teaspoon of vanilla extract also works well.
Store the icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before using, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and rewhip lightly for best consistency.
Yes! This icing is naturally dairy-free if made with lemon juice. For a vegan version, ensure your powdered sugar is vegan (some brands use bone char) and substitute any butter or cream called for in variations with coconut oil or vegan butter.
For smooth application, use a piping bag with a star or round tip. If you don't have piping tools, a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off or a simple spatula spread works too.
Yes, this icing freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and rewhip before using to restore the proper texture.
Add more sifted powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. The icing should hold peaks but still be spreadable.
Absolutely! This icing works well for cakes, cookies, or any baked goods needing a simple, sweet glaze. Adjust thickness by adding more liquid or powdered sugar as needed.
Use a powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener instead of powdered sugar. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly as these substitutes absorb moisture differently.
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, or mix in a small amount of cream cheese or Greek yogurt for tanginess and to cut the sugar flavor.
