Notes

  • Cover a iced and decorated cupcakes with a tall airtight lid, or with aluminum foil tightly sealed on the sides. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The decorations will soften over time, so try to make these cupcakes the day you plan to serve them.
  • FREEZER: Undecorates and unfrosted cupcakes can actually be stored in the freezer. Wrap each cupcake tightly in plastic wrap and place into a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw completely then wrap, frost cupcakes and decorate.
