Do I need to refrigerate cupcakes/cake?!

If it has a whipped topping maybe you should regridgerate then remove for about an hour before serving. But if it is buttercreme they should be fine in a cool dark place. counter or kitchen table should be fine :] enjoy

i bake cupcakes all the time

Unless your kitchen is very warm &/or humid, your cakes should be fine unless the directions instruct you 'fridge them.

Some folks like the firmness that a cold cake has and some prefer the warmness of a room temp one. Sometimes storing in the 'frige will dry a cake out and cause it to taste stale sooner. It's really just your choice which you desire.

I have a couple recipes that I have to store in the 'fridge and the rest sit on the counter for 2 days. Then any that is left is sliced (iced and all) and stored in the deep freeze. We loooooove to pull out a slice or two a few weeks down the road w/out having to bake a whole 'nother cake.

About the only time you'd need to refrigerate cupcakes is if they had a pastry cream filling of some sort. Otherwise, stored at room temp is fine.

If they're going to be eaten that soon, they need no refridgeration. just be sure the container is sealed.

never refrigerate wheat products unless absolutely necessary,, it breaks the tenderness is the fibers and ruins texture
