I am bringing banana pudding cupcakes to work Wed,  I want to go ahead and make icing tonight.  Will the bananas turn brown if made ahead of time?  Also I will be using shortening so do the cupcakes have to be refrigerated after made?


Thanks!!!

Without knowing the recipe it's hard to determine if the cupcakes need refrigeration.

When I've made banana pudding, as long as they were completely covered by pudding they did not brown when refrigerated overnight. I've never made a buttercream with mashed or sliced bananas, so I don't know if they will brown.

banana buttercream with real mashed bananas in it will turn brown eventually and needs refrigeration
