Icing:
For the icing i just got some icing sugar, a small spoonful of butter, some cocoa and a little bit of hot water. i mixed it up and added more icing sugar until the consitency was how i wanted it.
then i put spread the icing onto the cooled cupcakes, and sprinkled some 100's & 1000's on top =D
when refridgerated, the icing should harden.
