Eerie glowing cupcakes

There are plenty of glowing foods and drinks instructables already, but no ones decided to try and make glowing cupcakes or icing yet! Well, here is my attempt and some suggestions to make yours better!

For some fun glowing cocktails take a look at:

More pictures of the cupcakes to come this week. I had a hard time getting nice pictures the first time around. But trust me, it looks awesome in the black light ^.^


I want to apologize for the poor photos. My camera just cannot seem to take good pictures in the black light. I tried many settings too.

Step 1: Ingredients

Ingredients:

Cake:
Cake recipe or store bought cake mix
Gather all materials as stated on cake mix box. ie the eggs, water, butter

Icing:
There are a few ways to do the icing so the ingredients list will differ.

Method 1: (I tried this method)
A container of white or off white flavored iceings
A bottle of Tonic Water

Method 2: (and I tried this method)
I used a standard simple vanella icing recipe and added tonic water as I pleased
recipe:
2 Cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Tonic water till it glows

Method 3: (I started trying this method, its quite interesting.)
jello packet
tonic water
home made or store bought icing (you can use the tonic water icings we make!)

Method 4: (I haven't yet tried but looks like a good recipe)
After doing all the work of trying to make a recipe, I finally came across this recipe online. I did not yet get a chance to try it, but if my cupcakes glow like theirs I would be so excited.

~THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT FOR GLOWING ICING IS TONIC WATER. IT GLOWS UNDER BLACK LIGHT!~

Have you tried using a tonic concentrate? Soda stream has a tonic concentrate that is inexpensive and can avoid the thinning.
