Can You Freeze Cupcakes?

Yes, you can freeze cupcakes, and they actually freeze surprisingly well. If you cool them completely, wrap them tightly, and freeze at 0°F (–18°C) or below, cupcakes keep good eating quality for about 3–6 months while staying safe much longer. Cupcakes freezing is ideal for parties, batch-baking and reducing waste.
