How to Store Cupcakes
After the cupcakes have cooled, I keep then in large Tupperware-style containers. Food safety experts recommend that cupcakes with whipped cream, buttercream, cream cheese, or ganache frostings should be refrigerated. While I always keep whipped cream and ganache in the fridge, I often keep my buttercream and cream cheese cupcakes on the counter. I haven't gotten sick yet (nor have any of my tasters), but if you choose to also leave them out, it is at your own risk. Refrigerated cupcakes should always be brought to room temperature before eating.
If you need to store your cupcakes for more than 3-4 days, most cupcakes can be frozen without a problem.
How long can you store unfrosted cupcakes in a freezer?
ReplyDeleteI want to make cream cheese frosting, but doesn't the cupcakes then have to be put in the fridge?
They should be fine frozen for a few weeks. Some people will even freeze them for months, but they don't last that long around my house.
ReplyDeleteI've an order for Christmas day, but I am delivering the cupcakes on the 20th december. How should I store them?
ReplyDeleteI would like to transport 60 cupcakes in cardboard cake holders. Can these then be stored in the fridge overnight- or do they need to be airtight containers?
ReplyDeleteYou can store them overnight. Just bring them to room temp before serving.
