Glaze for cupcakes
Description
The recipe won’t take long. A chocolate frosting will give your baked goods an appetizing look, and you can make it in literally 5–10 minutes. The important part is to chill the cupcakes in the refrigerator so the frosting sets on them right away. White chocolate frosting is especially popular—all the children ask for seconds of these cupcakes. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
