11. Empty the glow in the dark icing sachet into a bowl or mug. Start by adding 1½ tsps of water and stir well, If it is a little thick add a few more drops of water. It is best to add small amounts of water at a time, it is easier to decorate with thicker icing and you can always add a little more water but you can’t take it away.
12. Use the glow in the dark icing to drizzle or decorate onto your cupcakes, turn out the lights and use your torch to see them glow. Top Tip 1 - Find the darkest place in your house, make sure all the lights are out and the curtains are closed when you use your torch to make sure you get the most out of your glow in the dark cupcakes. Top Tip 2 - Pipe the glow in the dark icing to create more detailed designs. If you don’t have a piping bag you can make one using a freezer bag. Simply put your icing into a freezer bag and snip off the corner and pipe. Storing your cakes Decorated cupcakes can be stored in an air tight container but should be eaten within 4 days.
