I am so excited to share with you this great tip on freezing cupcakes.

I was really impressed with how easy it was to freeze cupcakes and how nicely they turned out. I love visiting craft cupcake bakeries and trying new flavors but most of the time I can't get through the entire box before they start to get dry and crumbly.

Plus, I love having delicious cupcakes tucked away in the freezer for those days I want a sweet treat but don't want to whip out the mixer and start baking.

If you have been wondering "Can I freeze Cupcakes?" don't worry we have the answer for you and you are going to love how easy it is!

How to freeze frosted cupcakes

All you have to do is place the cupcakes in the box they come in from the bakery in the freezer. I let ours sit overnight in the box.

The next morning they were frozen all the way through. Wrap each individual cupcake in saran wrap and place it in a container that will protect the cupcakes from getting beat up in the freezer.

The last thing you want is to go and grab a killer cupcake and find it frozen and smashed.

When you are ready to enjoy the cupcakes all you have to do is pull one out, unwrap it, place it on a plate, and a few hours later you have a nice moist cupcake to enjoy.

How to store frosted cupcakes

Are you wondering how to store frosted cupcakes that you want to enjoy soon but don't really need to freeze. Don't worry that is also a simple process.

The most important step is to store your frosted cupcakes in an airtight container. The size of the container will really depend on the cupcakes you are storing.

If they are store/bakery bought with a ton of icing you will want to look for an airtight container with at least 3 inches on the sides to give space for the icing.

The last thing you want to do is put the lid on the container and squish all of the delicious icings.

You can use a specially made cupcake carrier especially if you plan to move them or bring them to an event.
