Cupcake Tops Get Sticky After Freezing..

how are you freezing them? How are you thawing them?
If they don't have air to circulate around them while thawing i've found that I get sticky tops. I have stackable cooling racks and i usually put them on the bottom rack, put another rack over top and drape a flour sack towel over top.
I am thawing them in a plastic bag. I have heard that they will dry out if you just take them out and dry them with nothing covering them.. is this true?
If I thaw in a plastic bag then I make sure to open it so that the air can circulate. If you don't have anything covering them, yes they can dry out. That is why I put a second rack over top mine with a flour sack towel over it, this way the air can get in and around the cupcakes, the moisture stays under the towel, but it doesn't necessarily build up on the cupcakes giving you a sticky top.
But like aswartzw said, i don't have any issues if i do end up with sticky tops. I cover it with buttercream and no one knows any different.
