2. Stir all of your frosting ingredients together and beat. Start with 2cps of powdered sugar and add more powdered sugar if you want a stiffer consistency.
3. Let cupcakes cool then pipe frosting onto cupcakes high and fluffy. Freeze for 20min and then dip in chocolate.

Chocolate for dipping:

2 cups (12 ounces) semi sweet chocolate chips or baking bar chopped up
3-2 tsp canola oil

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water ( but not touching) Stir frequently. Once the chocolate is smooth mix in the canola oil and transfer to a smaller, deeper bowl. One that will be better for dipping. Let cool for 10-15 min before dipping.
