  5. 5
    Half fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so the water simmers. Use a hand whisk to combine all ingredients in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer. Place the mixing bowl over the pan of simmering water and gently whisk until the ingredients are hot and sugar has dissolved.
  6. 6
    Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip the icing with the whisk attachment on medium speed until peaks are stiff. Frost cooled cupcakes.
