Quick! Freeze Cupcakes W/ Or W/out Frosting?

I'm about to make my eldest some gluten-free cupcakes for her 13th birthday! (Maybe if I say "I have a teenager" enough times, it'll sink in!!!) Only 3 of the 6 of us can/will eat them, so I need to freeze some. This may be a stupid question, but do you freeze cupcakes with or without the frosting? I'm just using some Betty Crocker tub frosting. Wish I could do it all from scratch, but my nerves are bothering me right now, and I promised her a chicken dinner, too.

Without. Make sure they aren't touching when you first freeze them. After they are frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag to make storage easier and just pull out however many you want and let come to room temperature.

And the third person to join in and agree - definitely without. Enjoy your time on your son's big day! :)

Have fun and good luck with that teenager. :P

Definitely without and I would make sure they are thawed completely before frosting.

Thank you SOOOOO much to everyone who replied! I'm going to put some in the freezer as soon as I stand up.

It's actually my one and only daughter who's 13 today. She's my mother's height now and is a little over an inch away from mine. Every once in awhile I still look at her expecting to see a little girl and am shocked when I see the young woman she's growing into. I just don't feel old enough to have a teenager! (I'm 42.) At least when my 3 boys eventually turn 13, they won't look so grown up! LOL!

lol i'd do it with (because i've frozen with many many times). It turns out to be similar to a frozen cake (this is assuming that the cupcakes are also cooled before application of the icing :P).

Actually, it depends on the type of frosting; for example, Seven Minute definitely would not work frozen. Some buttercreams might but some things upon thawing change structure. For example, it is perfectly fine to freeze coconut milk but it becomes grain when it is thawed (usually not problematic).

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
