 | about cupcakes |
IF you should buy yourself a box of cupcakes, say. For argument’s sake, let’s call them Trader Joe’s chocolate cupcakes with fudge frosting. If you should buy such a thing. On a hot day. You might think to put them in the refrigerator so the frosting doesn’t all melt and slide off the side of the cupcake, which perhaps you know from experience is likely to happen.
HOWEVER. If your refrigerator is messily crammed full of goodness knows what and you shove the cupcakes in on the top shelf, and they wind up pressed against the refrigerator light bulb–even though they are still in the refrigerator– they will STILL MELT. At least the one closest to the light bulb.
Just thought you should know.
(On the other hand, if you forget to put them in the fridge at all and they do melt, you can always stick a fork right through the frosting and into the cupcake, and pull them out of the package that way. Not that I have experimented to find the cake-removal method resulting in least loss of frosting or anything.) (Okay, yes. Yes I have. I have done exactly that.)
Noted.
I am new to the blogging arena but just created a Mommy site of my own through blogger. Check it out if you like and I look forward to reading more about your parenting experiences.
Thanks for the tip! I’m always looking for ways to minimize frosting loss.
It seemed important.
You mean your cupcakes actually make it home from Trader Joe’s? Then by all means, lick the frosting right out of the box. You’ve shown enough restraint already.
