I love checking your site every week, you are so creative :)

I’m making vanilla cupcakes with your fudge frosting today for my daughters preschool class.

I’m going to frost them tonight for tomorrow, do they need to go in the fridge overnight?
Thanks much!

I don’t find it necessary to refrigerate my cupcakes unless they are cream cheese frosted or whipped cream frosted. The fudge frosting and buttercream hold just fine at room temp. I usually cover them in some way though, either in a plastic cupcake container, cake box, tupperware, or on a covered cake stand. This can help the cake part retain moisture.

I hope they turn out well!

Thanks for your quick response, btw, do you have any cupcake/baking books you recommend? Also, any good decorative/frosting resources for making them look as good as yours :)

Hmmm, I use Magnolia’s cookbook for basic recipes for cakes that I don’t develop on my own. I also refer to marthastewart.com for assistance/inspiration.

I have a bunch of cupcake books, but don’t use them much. As far as decoration goes, I would say, honestly, I am inspired mostly from my Martha Stewart Living subscription! I will look through the cookbooks tonight though and let you know if any stand out.

Wanted to let you know that I made the fudge frosting - awesome. My husband is licking the bowl as we speak.

Made 1/2 the recipe since I was making mini cupcakes, majority was semisweet and a bit of unsweetend. Next time I’m going to try your chocolate ratio.

Thanks again - now I just have to work on my piping technique. Think my star tip is too small.

Does this frosting ‘pipe’ better when it is cold?

Not really. You need it to be chilled to get it to the right consistency, but normally, I over do it and need to bring it back to room temperature before piping.
