I found some tips on How to Store Cupcakes:

1- Place your cupcakes in an airtight container to keep them moist. If you made the cupcakes from fresh ingredients, such as eggs and butter, instead of a packaged mix, eat the cupcakes within 24 hours for best taste. Cupcakes made with a packaged mix and store-bought frosting will keep for approximately three or four days due to the higher concentration of preservatives found in premade mixes

2. Refrigerate your cupcakes in an airtight container. Refrigerating uncovered cupcakes causes dry, crumbly cake. If the frosting is already hardened and you don't have an airtight container, wrap each cupcake individually in foil or plastic wrap to store them in the refrigerator. Expect your cupcakes, made either from scratch or mix, to last approximately 10 days in the refrigerator before the taste is compromised.

3.Freeze your cupcakes in a freezer-ready zip-close bag. Wait for the frosting to harden so it doesn't stick to the plastic, and carefully insert each cupcake into the bag. Expel any remaining air, and seal the bag. Frozen cupcakes will keep up to six months. Allow the cupcakes to thaw at room temperature for three to four hours when you get a craving.

hope these tips would be useful

really useful sweety
upload a recipe too

Pudding Pops

Makes 6.

Ingredients:
(1 box) pudding mix
(2 cups) milk
(6) wafer cookies
(12) sliced almonds
(4-6) chocolate chips

Supplies:
bowl, whisk, measuring cup
foil baking cups
cupcake pan
small microwave safe bowl for choco chips
toothpick

Directions:
1. First up, let’s create our groundhogs! Melt a few chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for about 45 seconds. Allow to cool for about a minute - you don’t want the chocolate to be runny, but more the consistency of glue. Dip the narrow ends of two sliced almonds into the chocolate and adhere to the back of a wafer cookie - this forms the ground hog’s ears.
Next, dip the tip of a toothpick into the chocolate and dot onto the front of the wafer cookie to create eyes. Similarly draw a heart or Y shape with the toothpick and chocolate to form the groundhog’s nose. Set your groundhogs on a plate (face up) and refrigerate while you make the pudding.2. Place empty baking cups into a cupcake pan. I found that foil baking cups were easier to release from the frozen pudding versus paper cups. (To make it even easier to remove the cups from the frozen pops, consider placing an extra wafer cookie flat in the bottom of each cup before pouring in the pudding.) Prepare pudding according to package directions - usually it’s just beating 2 cups of milk and the mix for 2 minutes.

3. Insert each groundhog about one third to one half of the way into a filled pudding cup. Place the tray in your freezer for about two hours until the pudding is solid. And then you’re ready to enjoy - viva Punxsutawney!

Alternate ideas:
*If you want to enhance the look of the “dirt” surrounding your wafer cookie Phil, consider crumbling a chocolate sandwich cookie (like an Oreo, but scraping off the white filling first) over the pudding before freezing.
*Don’t like pudding pops? Insert a groundhog into a chocolate cupcake - works just as well.
*Not into groundhogs? You can just as easily transform your wafer cookie into any number of characters - play around and have fun!

My daughter turned 2 1/2 years old in June, and I wanted to have a small "Half Birthday" celebration, so we made cupcakes together before she went down for a nap. When she woke up they where frosted and decorated... she really enjoyed them! I only had about 20 minutes to frost them, but I think they turned out nice.
