Quick Tip #7 - Freeze for Later Gator

If you ask me, you can never make too many cupcakes.  If you don't have room to finish eating them, chances are a kind friend, colleague or neighbour will help you out and take them off your hands.  But if you want to keep them all for yourself, or just have some cupcakes on hand just incase you have some unexpected guests, you can always freeze your leftover cupcakes - preferable un-iced!

How?  It's easy.  First, take your un-iced cupcakes and wrap each of them individually in some plastic wrap.  Then, place them in a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag and putting it in the freezer.  You can go as extreme as sucking the air out with a straw, but it's up to you and  how far you will go to protect your cupcake treat!  If you're worried about all your efforts being crushed in the freezer, put the bag in a plastic container or tin to keep it safe from the Thanksgiving turkey rolling over onto them.

I recently passed this advise along to a close friend who made the ever popular Cookie n' Cream Cupcake for her husband's birthday.  Check out her blog, The Petit Cadeau, on how to fancy this recipe up even more plus get lots of great gifting tips and ideas!
