The Frosting
I make the frosting while the cupcakes are cooling.

2 – In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add it into the pudding mix and blend together well.
3 – Fold in the whipped topping. Top the cupcakes with frosting and enjoy!

How do I store my homemade cupcakes?
Without frosting, the cupcakes will stay fresh at room temperature for 1-2 days in an airtight container. Store the cupcakes in the refrigerator to last up to 7 days.
They should be kept in the refrigerator once the whipped topping has been added as the whipped topping should remain refrigerated.
