Hi everyone!

Ok. I need to make 250 cupcakes by April 21, and I am planning now.
I would like to use the white almond sour cream cake recipe (half the recipe, because of the added ingredients, I want to make sure it is mixed well )
Does anyone know how many cupcakes can be made with the half recipe?
What size scoop would you recommend to fill the muffin pan/cup so that they're all the same size and fill the cups?

I would like to bake the cc's and place in the freezer while warm but I want to fill them in advance so....

How should I do this, place warm cc's in freezer, for a certain amount of time (about 30-40 minutes before they freeze) then fill and place back in freezer until ready to decorate?

I'll be using raspberry and bc dream as a filling, will this do well in the freezer?

How far in advance should I start this? I want them baked and filled so I can have a break from cake before I have to ice them. When should I thaw and ice Thurs. or Fri. (the event is Sat.) How do I keep them fresh after decorating once I box them? TIA!

.... only tip I have is when I fill the muffin pan with batter I use an ice cream scoop ...I have one that has that button and the piece of metal that slides under it to plop it out....works out GREAT!...all the same size..

hope this helps ...

I would say this weekend or next would be a good time to start baking. Make sure you package them well...freezer bags, plastic wrap and foil. I normally just use an overflowing tablespoon to fill my cupcakes and they rise well with a good height. As for the filling, I would not do that until you take them out to decorate. I would hate to do all that baking and freezing and then the filling doesn't hold together or taste well after they are thawed out. Good luck.
