How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining cupcakes in their original packaging or in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not typically required but can extend their shelf life if needed, though it may slightly alter the texture of the frosting.
