Just wondering if there are tips out there. Mainly for thawing b/c I've seen them on freezing. Is there one way that's better to thaw? I'm just afraid of the papers becoming soggy when I thaw them. Does anyone do this with success?

I baked and froze cupcakes when I was selling at the Saturday market.

I put them in an airtight container, single layers separated by foil or waxed paper. Thawed overnight in the fridge.

Once in a while, the paper would come loose, but most were fine.

Do you thaw in the fridge or countertop?

Well I am going to jump out there and take a chance on getting in trouble, but I just did this 2 days ago. I took cupcakes out of freezer, frosted, decorated with glitter and a MMF flower and put in fridge for next day. (so they were still frozen when frosted). When the lady came to pick up they looked just like they did when I did them. Perfect. Most would say to had to thaw, if you feel you need to I would just put in fridge. They thaw pretty fast in there.

Thanks. I think this would cut down on condensation too since it's cooler in a fridge than in the house.

I leave them out on the counter. Haven't had issues with papers separating, but I've only used the nut and party cups when I freeze them. Haven't used regular liners, yet when freezing.
