  5. When the cupcakes are cooled, pipe on the cream cheese frosting using a large tipped piping nozzle or a Ziploc bag with a hole cut from one corner.

Notes

  • Storage: The cupcakes will keep for 3 days in an airtight container. If frosted, they need to be kept refrigerated.
  • Freezing Instructions: Both the cupcakes and the frosting are freezer friendly. The cooled cupcakes should be wrapped individually before being placed in a freezer bag, and the frosting can be frozen in an airtight container. Both can be kept for up to 3 months.Frosting should be thawed in the fridge overnight and cupcakes can defrost at room temperature for a couple of hours.
