Open the cupcake box and carefully and lift the cupcake tray out. Cut one end of the plastic packaging and then cut up the sides of the plastic and peel it back- (do not pull the cupcakes tray out of the package without the sides being cut-this may damage the cupcakes. Once the plastic is peeled back, lift the tray away from the plastic. You can either leave the cupcakes in the tray while decorating, or place them on a separate platter.
