It also really helps to keep them in an airtight container (I got a cupcake courier-type box with a handle at Walmart) so they stay fresh. Saran wrap or aluminum foil just doesn't do the trick.<br /><br />P.S. I think all of your cupcakes over the past three years turned out adorable!Jacihttp://fortheloveoflit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-91919014592082412532010-01-30T00:17:21.526-05:002010-01-30T00:17:21.526-05:00those are awesome tips!!

Oooo...Sorry, but those panda cupcakes are AWESOME. <br />Ooooo! Thanks for the tips! Now I really want to make cupcakes. Because if I did I MIGHT look sort of fancy in the kitchen for once. <br /><br />You know, when she's in school you probably won't be allowed to bring home made treats. You'll have to leave it up to the good folks at the bakery. <br /><br />That's what I tell MY kids, anyway. :)<br /><br />And.
