Question 1

Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Bake cupcakes up to two days before and store them at room temperature. Buttercream can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just bring it to room temperature and re-whip it before using.

Question 2

How do I get the perfect blue color?

Accepted Answer

Start with just one drop of gel food coloring and gradually add until you reach your desired shade. Gel colors are much more vibrant than liquid and won't thin out your buttercream.

Question 3

Can I freeze these cupcakes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen in airtight containers for up to three months. Thaw completely at room temperature before frosting and decorating.

Question 4

What's the best way to transport these?

Accepted Answer

Add sparklers after you arrive at your destination. Cupcakes travel beautifully in a standard cupcake carrier, and the buttercream roses hold their shape well during transport.
