You know how much I love cupcakes, and you know that I am always trying to find new ways to make them even more fun. I was just talking with a friend of mine and she told me that she always cools her cupcakes before frosting them. She said that it makes the frosting smoother and creamier. I told her that it makes sense but I was wondering how long should you cool your cupcakes before frosting them?
I have been doing this for years and years and I have found that the longer you cool your cupcakes before frosting them the better they taste. Of course, there are times when you will need to cool them for a certain amount of time. For example, if you are making a chocolate cupcake recipe, you will need to cool them for at least an hour or two to get them to room temperature. However, I have also found that you can cool your cupcakes as quickly as possible without sacrificing the taste.
To do this, you can simply put your cupcakes in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This will help them cool faster and make them more stable. If you want to make sure that you cool them completely before frosting them, you can stick them in the fridge for about 30 minutes. However, the key is to make sure that you don’t take them out until they are room temperature.
I have always thought that if you don’t cool your cupcakes before frosting them that they will not be very good. I am so glad that I was wrong! Now, when I make cupcakes, I always try to cool them for at least a half hour or two before frosting them. I find that this makes a huge difference in how delicious they taste. The frosting is much smoother and creamier. I also like to frost my cupcakes right after I have baked them. This gives the cupcake a fresh and new taste.
So, what do you think? Should you cool your cupcakes before frosting them? How long should you cool them for?
