Notes

- Keeping cupcakes moist: Icing acts as a seal to help retain moisture. Try to cover as much of the exposed top as possible with icing.
- Storing Cupcakes: Cupcakes are at their best within the first 2 days of baking. While they can last up to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container, they will start to dry out after 3-4 days. Store cooled, decorated cupcakes in an airtight container, making sure the lid doesn’t touch the icing.
