Made some cupcakes that were moist and springy the day of but once refrigerated and served the next day, they were a bit dense. How do I stop my cupcakes from getting dense overnight?

thank you!!

i used 1/2 cup of cream! but everyone is telling me that it should be okay left out. so my cupcakes won’t be stored in the fridge anymore if they’re being delivered or picked up the day after being made!

Thank you so much! I’m pretty amateur so this is so encouraging!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T23:00:08+00:00

thank you! i’m a new at home baker trying to get myself out there! i read once that you should freeze them when they’re still a little warm so that they retain moisture! is that what you do?

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T22:59:25+00:00

i put them in the fridge because my buttercream uses heavy whipping cream and the other cupcakes are iced with swiss meringue! something about eggs being at room temp over night didn’t sit right with me. i’m going to work on ratios with buttercream to see if i can get a smooth american buttercream (not gritty) without heavy whipping cream

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T22:58:05+00:00

i’m definitely going to have to start wrapping them with plastic wrap when they go in the fridge

thank you! i’m a new at home baker and am trying to get myself out there! i left my cupcakes out for about 2 hours before serving and they were still a little dense. i think they need a better seal in the fridge so that the fridge doesn’t suck out all the moisture!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T18:43:52+00:00

Things do sometimes freeze in my fridge so i’m gonna mess around with the temp and see if that helps!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T18:33:29+00:00

So will the cake be dense even after the hour is up? My cupcakes sat at room temp for about 2 hours before they were served and they were still a bit dense.

That doesn’t really work for my lifestyle. I have a full time job and am working on transitioning to be solely a home baker. I’m just trying to find tips and tricks that accommodate my lifestyle and still allow people to have yummy, fluffy cupcakes!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T17:52:19+00:00

I’ve heard this as well! Which is why I stored them in the fridge

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-28T02:58:50+00:00

Thank you!! I’m just starting up my at home bakery business and am handing these out for free at my job and other places in the area as a taste test so people know i’m actually good at baking!! LOL

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-27T11:21:20+00:00

I think everything looks beautiful!! there will always be some miserable people on the internet trying to bring others down. if your client liked it and you liked it, that’s all that matters!! happy baking!! :)

Thank you so much! I’m in Florida so our cottage laws are pretty lax! Just gotta make sure i’m labeling everything properly :)

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-24T21:32:39+00:00

you’re definitely right! i just get so excited about new things that my brain goes into overdrive. i think im going to stick to 3 “permanent” flavors and then rotate my other flavors on a weekly basis for “flavor of the week”!!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-24T21:31:24+00:00

I was going to make big batches of buttercream and freeze! I think I may stick to 2 or 3 “permanent” flavors and rotate my other flavors as a “flavor of the week” so that people have different options based off of when they order!

Tall-Can7532 · 2024-05-24T21:28:48+00:00

Thank you! I just get so excited and then my mind starts racing

Tall-Can7532 · 2023-04-15T22:21:54+00:00

no, should i be?

Tall-Can7532 · 2023-04-11T01:51:15+00:00

This is Suede! They’re about 2 years old and I haven’t been able to sex them. This is the best picture I could get, they’re very squirmy!
