My daughter and I are baking cupcakes for a cancer benefit and were going to make homemade buttercream frostingI was wondering if it would be ok to leave the cupcakes with the buttercream frosting out on the counter or would I have to refrigerated?
If your going to leave them out for more than 2 or 3 hours, I would refrigerate themIf your home is kept quite warm, I would not leave the frosted cupcakes out on the counter at allIf time allows, you can refrigerate the frosting in a covered container and frost them on the morning of the benefitThe cupcakes should be fine on the counterJust put the cooled cupcakes in a plastic container with a lid or in box and cover with aluminum foil.
