So, don&rsquo;t be afraid to play around at the end to get a texture you&rsquo;re happy with. If you want it thinner\/looser, add a bit of milk or water. If you want it thicker, add extra powdered sugar bit by bit.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241850529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What if I don&rsquo;t have piping bags and tips?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you don&rsquo;t have piping bags and tips on hand, you can use Ziplock bags, and cut a small hole in one of the corners to pipe frosting through. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757365252538\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-Ahead Tips<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both components of these cupcakes can be made in advance and used later.<br><br><strong>Frosting<\/strong>: The frosting can be made up to a week in advance. Place the frosting in an airtight container and press a layer of cling wrap directly on top of the frosting to prevent a crust from forming. Store the frosting in the refrigerator. When you&rsquo;re ready to use it, let it come to room temperature on the counter, then whip it on medium speed until it regains its light, creamy texture.<br><br><strong>Cupcakes<\/strong>:<strong> <\/strong>Baked and cooled cupcakes can be frozen in airtight containers. Let them defrosting in their container on the countertop before decorating. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241851989\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Store extra cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If they have been chilled, allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-quick-links cwp-large
