Follow your usual method of waiting for your cupcakes to cool completely before decorating. Frost cupcakes completely and correctly before freezing, as you won't be able to redecorate them once frozen. As before, use a strong, lidded container that is tall enough to completely encase the decorated cupcakes, without the frosting touching the lid.
Ensure your container is also girthy enough to hold the cupcakes without squashing them together, as cosy cupcakes can get sticky! Store your decorated cupcakes at room temperature, to again prevent drying them out in a fridge environment.
The fridge should always be a heatwave situation last-resort. Cupcakes, both decorated and naked, can be kept in their sealed, room temperature environment for up to a week. They are at their best within days of baking. The first rule of freezing cupcakes, is to always let them cool down completely before freezing. This is essential, as it helps avoid any build-up of moisture and condensation inside the freezer. If your freezer is, like most of ours are, then simply put each cupcake on as flat a surface as possible inside.
Once your cupcakes are completely frozen, pop them into one freezer bag or individual freezer bags if you prefer and back into the freezer. This will prevent freezer burn. The second rule is to always label your cupcakes. Proceed with caution and store your cupcakes with a clear system of identification, to prevent any mix ups! Simply label your cupcakes with the date you made them and, briefly, the flavour.
Perhaps create a chart of abbreviations for your most commonly-used flavours? This could create some unintentionally amusing results Honeydew, Elderberry, Lemon and Passionfruit anyone? Our final rule when it comes to freezing undecorated cupcakes is the best bit — how to defrost and gleefully fill your tummies with delightful cupcake deliciousness!
Then, simply decorate or eat as they are! The first rule of freezing frosted cupcakes is just the same as their naked counterparts — let them cool completely. Since we don't go into town that often I decided to get a whole dozen. As we were checking out, the cashier told us about proper storage of a Sprinkles cupcake and mentioned that they could be frozen in an airtight container.
I decided to test it out and put a few in the freezer. Here it is just over a month later and I am ready to try my once frozen cupcakes. I am slightly skeptical that the cupcakes will be damp from frost or maybe even dried out.
I have thawed out the cupcakes on the counter uncovered until they came to room temperature. I love how moist the cupcakes tuned out using this method I even think they were moister than fresh.
My question is I have to make cpcakes and 4 cakes for a wedding so I am limited on freezer space. I was wondering if I can freeze them ibatches of a dozen and once they freeze completely can I stack the bags to allow for more in my freezer.
Aw so glad you love the method! And yes I would freeze them solid first unwrapped on a small cookie sheet about an hour should do the trick and the. I find as long as they are frozen solid and lay flat they are good to go! Hi Heather I making decorated cupcakes for a schools bake sale. I plan to frost and freeze then bring them out to add sprinkle and paste decorations a couple of days before the event. I wondering if I can freeze them in plastic airtight containers instead of individually wrapping them.
Will that work? Thanks for you generosity in sharing I so appreciate it. Hi Lyn, yes plastic bags or containers will be fine. Do cupcakes that have been frozen tend to be drier than fresh baked?
Do they stay fresh as long or only last a short time? Thank you! Hi there. My plan is to bake, frost and freeze about two months before the event.
What is the best frosting to use? Buttercream or whipped cream? Hi Jacqueline! I would use buttercream. It freezes well. Hi Kim! I use the Sterilite plastic containers with latching lids. Hello Heather.. Hi Betcy! Aw thank you and Im glad you found it helpful! I would say as long as they stay cold you should be fine. Hope that helps! Will the sprinkles leech color? Any advice? Hi Amanda! My guess is that yes they sprinkles may bleed color.
