Baking WWYD

[lexus]

I have cupcakes to make for ds' memorial birthday dinner tonight. I was planning to take half to our support group on Wednesday. Would they be fine if I baked them today? Should I freeze the half I'm saving (without frosting them) or would it be better to refrigerate half the mix?

Don't refrigerate the mix, it won't rise properly. I think you'll be fine baking them today as long as you don't frost them and keep them in an airtight container.

I would make a batch tonight and a fresh batch on Monday or Tuesday - if you have time. Maybe half the recipe? If you really can't, don't frost them and put them in an airtight container.

You definitely can't save the batter.

Bake and freeze, they wont stil be good by Wednesday if you just put them in tupperware

I have frozen unfrosted cupcakes before, and they came out just fine. Thaw them and frost them on the day you need them and you should be good.

I would freeze the cupcakes and frost the day of.

Edit: baked cakes do fine just left out on the counter from frozen ...just let them come to room temp before frosting

I vote freeze. Cupcakes will thaw quickly too.

Thanks. They are in the oven now.
