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.

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).

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
