I Feel Like A Scientist (And A Prayer Request)

If you couldn't tell, cupcakes are taking over my life.


I call it planning. My husband calls it my neurotic tendencies. My mother-in-law thinks I missed my calling. I can't help it. I want these cupcakes to look nice.

I've been searching online and I can't find anything about frozen, filled cupcakes. Can you freeze a cupcake with filling in it? Can you freeze a cupcake with a little piece taken out of it so that it can be filled while frozen? Do you want to fill it while frozen?

These are questions I am asking!! If you happen to know the answers to these questions, please let me know. If not, I will be freezing cupcakes this weekend and deciding the way to go for the wedding in March. Ooooo! Science experiments! Last time I did a science experiment with food, I threw some twinkies off of my roof.

I've noticed that my blogging friends (and definitely The SITS ladies) are big-hearted people! I love it. And I wanted to ask you to read a post.



How beautiful is she?!

She has a really hard home life and could really use your prayers. You can visit Vashti to read the whole story.

  1. Wish I had some freezer advice...Though I'm not a gourmet chef or anything, I would think it's okay to freeze cupcakes with filling. I hope you have a big freezer!

    Heading over to read Vashti's story...

  2. I'm sorry I don't have any advice for freezing cupcakes. I know they can be frozen "plain" for sure, but I've never tried the filled variety. Each of your ideas could work, so why not try them all this weekend? :)

    I'll definitely keep Vashti in my prayers.

  9. I am a scientist but I don't know the answer to your question, sorry! I think it would depend on whether or not the filling can be frozen without separating - maybe try freezing the filling first? Good luck! I'm gonna look into Project O a bit later too, thanks for the info!

  10. She is beautiful - she looks just like a singing angel. I will be praying for her little life and ask that God grant his love and mercy upon her young soul. I will also pray that He places someone in her life that will be able to guide her as she begins her journey into womanhood.

    As for cupcakes, I am not your girl. But YUM! They look great!

  13. First I freeze cakes, tarts, ect. But more important is how long they will be frozen and what you use to store them in. I always Double Bag, and I try to use them up within the first 3 months. For you do not want ice to build up, So make them air tight. Give a report on how you do. As the fillings, I not a chef either, so I would think some fillings would freeze, but maybe not some. So give it a test and see. I would be more thinking on the line of adding filling later. But then give the test for I would love to know! TOO!
