[@LightShineDesserts]

Can you refrigerate the cupcake for a day, if so would it dry out? Since I want to make the cake and frosting the day beforehand but I want the frosting to stay firm but don’t want the cake to become dry in the fridge.

[@bookwormbon482]

After folding for what seemed like a long time and baking I noticed there were unmixed bits of flour in the final cupcake. Is there a trick to getting the folding correct without over mixing?

[@1LORENAMONGE]

I messed up, filled cups 2/3 and they overflowed. Not the end of the world but tops were stuck to tin, most of them have broken tops; but still taste delicious and the crumb is soft, light, and tender. Delicious little messed up clouds that I’m going to freeze for my tea or coffee. Will try again, this time will follow every step exactly how this wonderful baker/KZbinr instructs. P. S. My messed up tops may be deformed and won’t be frosted, but their making contact with the tin made them crispy and extra-delicious, so still a win. ❤😂😊

[@farhanaruhomutally867]
