Using an electric mixer, combine the butter, cinnamon, vanilla and spiced rum.

Slowly add powdered sugar and then add water as needed to get to the right consistency (it should be stiff but pliable).

Next, colour half of the icing blue. Place both icing colours into piping bags. The light coloured icing with a large tip and the blue icing with a smaller tip.

Pipe two swirls on each cupcake using the light-coloured icing. Then pipe zig-zag lines with the blue icing.

Don’t forget the sprinkles!
