Notes
- Because these cupcakes use a cream cheese frosting, they should be kept in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 3-4 days. Keep them in an airtight container.
- You can also freeze your cupcakes. It’s best to freeze them before you frost them. You can individually wrap them, or place them in a Ziploc bag. If you’ve already frosted them, place them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for about 2 months.
- You can also freeze the cream cheese frosting in its own airtight container for 3-4 months.
