Directions

Meanwhile, to make the frosting, combine milk, 1/3 cup water and sugar in small saucepan. Stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Add bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature. Beat butter and vanilla until as white as possible. While motor is running, gradually pour in cold syrup and beat until light and fluffy. Spread frosting over cupcakes. Arrange cupcakes on a cake board. Tie ribbon around cupcakes.

When icing reaches firm peaks, use a wooden spoon to beat in lemon juice then cover tightly with plastic wrap.
