4. For the frosting: Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl, add the butter and cranberry cordial and use the electric whisk on slow, to bring the ingredients together. Then increase the speed and whisk for 1 minute or until the mixture is fluffy.
5. Use a round bladed knife to spread, or piping bag fitted with a star shaped to pipe each cupcake with the icing and decorate with sprinkles or your choice of toppings.
Cook's tip! For a 'think pink' cupcake, take 45ml/3tbsp of the icing and add a couple of drops of food colouring. Spoon into a greaseproof paper piping bag and snip off the end. Pipe a ‘ribbon loop' shape on top of each cake.
