**MAKING THE FROSTING**
A) First of all, if you can, remove the bowl from your electric mixing machine and sieve the icing sugar into it.
B) Now, sieve the powdered cream and custard powder and mix well with the icing sugar.
C) Using the microwave, please your butter in a cup or bowl and cover with cling film to avoid splashes and microwave on high for 40 seconds until it is fully melted.
D) Return your bowl to its locked position and on a low speed, add the milk, glycerine, liquid glucose syrup, vanilla & strawberry essence and whip until it is very soft and creamy
E) If you're very skilful, you can put the frosting in your piping bag and pipe directly onto the cakes, but if you're not so advenurous(!), then simply spoon it ontop of the little cakes and spread it over the crown of the cupcake until the frosting is covering it completely.
