Whip up egg whites until it starts getting fluffy then start adding icing sugar whilst whisking until the mixture stiffens a little and looks perfectly shiny then add a squeeze of lemon juice to counter the sweetness!. Its easier to eyeball and taste rather than give you a recipe!. Or you can make a buttercream start by whipping butter til pale and soft then add sifted icing sugar til it tastes good to you!. You can loosen the mix to the consistency you want by adding milk!.
The eggwhite icing is what is generally used for carrot cake!.
If you want to make little butterflies to sit on your cakes!. Pipe 2 small chocolate hearts with melted chocolate for wings, 1 chocolate line and 2 small antennas on the choc line!. Place chocolate line and antennas in middle of cake after theyre set then put hearts pointed side down on either side of the line!.
Or for flowers use mini marshmallows and cut them horizontally in half so you get perfect circles, pinch the circles to make an eye shape (these are the petals) put an m & m in the centre and arrange the petals around the candy, pipe a green stem on and you get a picture perfect edible flower!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would take 2 8 oz packages of cream cheese, confectioners sugar to taste, a teaspoon of vanilla!. Mix with a wire wisk in a mixer!. Spoon into a piping bag with a rose tip!. then pipe onto your cupcakes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Any party store, or anywhere that sells that stuff has the bags and tips to use, but a baggie with the corner cut off will work if you don't care if it's roses!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
