How to Store Gingerbread Cupcakes<\/h2>\n

To prevent your cupcakes from drying out, place toothpicks inside the remaining cupcakes, tent the tray with tin foil or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. The picks will keep the frosting from smudging and sticking to the cover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, there are many individual cupcake holders you can transfer leftovers to, for school lunches, afternoon snacks and on-the-go treats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How long do gingerbread cupcakes last?<\/h3>\n

Unfrosted gingerbread cupcakes can last up to seven days on your kitchen counter and stored in sealed, airtight containers. If they have an icing or frosting with dairy, you’re looking at two to three days tops.<\/p>\n

Can you freeze gingerbread cupcakes?<\/h3>\n

Yes! Just like gingerbread cake, these cupcakes will hold up well if unfrosted and placed in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n

Gingerbread Cupcake Tips<\/h2>\n

What is the best cupcake liner to use?<\/h3>\n

Foil, silicone and paper liners all work for this recipe. Use what you have, unless you’re looking for decorative cupcake liners to fit a certain theme.<\/p>\n

How do I keep my cupcakes from sinking?<\/h3>\n

Baking is the opposite of cooking in that you must carefully measure each ingredient and follow the instructions to a T, instead of winging it. One minor mistake and your cupcakes could fall flat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s also important to fully whip the butter and sugar to get enough air into the mixture before moving on to the next step. This will give you fluffy light cupcakes instead of deflated ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, don’t overfill your cups, stop right before the top of the liner or the cupcakes can lose their lift halfway through the baking process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
