how long can you freeze cupcakes before using them
You can get a head start by baking cupcakes ahead of time and freezing until you need them. Unfrosted cupcakes freeze better than frosted and frozen cupcakes are easier to frost. When freezing unfrosted cupcakes: 1  Cool unfrosted completely, about 30 minutes, before covering and storing to keep the tops from becoming sticky. 2  Place cupcakes in cardboard bakery boxes to prevent crushing, then tightly cover with foil, plastic wrap or larger freezer bags.
