    Default help- baking question

    i just baked for the first time

    i made my own frosting for cupcakes that i made from scratch. i have been storing them (for a few hours) in plastic and aluminum tins, but i wondered if i should refrigerate them because they are frosted- made out of shortening, margarine, confect. sugar and flavoring. do i need to refrigerate or is out ok?

    im exctied also because these are vegan cupcakes (im allergic to eggs, dairy, and now my vegan best friend can eat them too!).. and it's been seriously SO long since i have had cake-anything that wont make me seriously sick! i took pictures lol im so proud it's sad.

    Love it!

    im pretty sure frosting doesnt need to be kept too cold. it should set by itself

    as long as there is 1 and 1/2 times the shortening to margerine, they're fine to be left out.

    have you made them already? maybe ice a couple, leave one out, and put one in the fridge to see? lol i dunno.

    im pretty sure they are fine tho, ultimatly its only margarine, and that can be left out too. depends how you like the consistancy?

    it's a slippery slope, especially if I like them

    that's dangerous territory....

    haha! i know all about that....


    well, you could have her bring you only 1/2 of one at work, and only have it after you sell a vip or 2

    then it's not cheating, it's a reward

    I find cooking goes a lot better when I say BAM a LOT. But Elzar style. Also cooking naked helps a lot as well.

    Chrissy, you can leave your cupcakes out. Let them cool then put them in a tupperware with the lid on so they don't get stale.

    I always refrigerate my cakes. THey last longer and I've never had a problem with them losing their softness. I tend to put pudding in the middle of mine though:p
    I have some great easy cake recipes, if you want them. I'm making strawberry cheescake cake and an oreo cream cake for a baby shower sunday.

    As long as there is no dairy in the recipe, you don't need to put it in the fridge. It might not last as long though. And on the other hand, putting some things in the fridge causes them to stale.
