To make the glaze, sift the sugar into a mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice, zest, oil, and 3 tablespoons water.

With fingers, dip the cupcakes into the glaze while they're still warm, covering as much of the cake as possible, or spoon the glaze over the warm cupcakes, turning them to completely coat. Place on wire racks with waxed paper underneath to catch any drips.
