Cupcakes are given a coating of boiled apricot jam to prevent the icing absorbing moisture.  The icing may be  a poured fondant, which has a smooth glossy finish and does not harden, or a disc of sugarpaste,  or a swirl of light cupcake buttercream.

The design of your cake will be tailored to meet your needs. Flowers and models can be beautifully hand-crafted in sugar.
