The storage method for cupcakes may vary depending on the specific recipe you are using. It is advisable to follow the storage instructions provided in that particular recipe. However, a general suggestion would be to loosely cover the cupcakes with plastic wrap. Whether you choose to keep them in the foil while they cool or remove them from the foil, it is unlikely to significantly impact the storage outcome.

Hi! I am an experienced Baker and candy maker and have been following you for about a year now. I have never attempted sugar cookies or royal icing. I have been going through your beginners guide and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. I am interested in making “poision apple” cookies for Halloween. (See pic from angelica made me) I was wandering if I should start with premade royal icing, as finding the right consistency of home made can be tricky? Or should I go homemade? Also I was wandering if I could make the “poison” part of the face as a template so I have something to trace and use it as transfer? Would that work being that it’s so big? And would I’ve able to attach the transfer while the flooded apple is still wet, or is there a way to attach to the dry flooded cookie? Any info you can give me would be helpful. I appriciate what you do and thank you.

Salmon, sardines, mackerel and certain other fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. The benefits of eating fish may far outweigh the risk of harming your health from the mercury these fish contain, according to Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. If you worry about the contaminants your fish dinner may contain, you can try eating lower down on the food chain. Certain fish, such as sharks, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish, contain higher levels of mercury than smaller fish, like sardines, smelt, and anchovy.

Hi Lisa,

You can totally make your royal icing dry shiny! Once you decorate your cookies, place them in front of a fan. This is something Sweet Sugarbelle taught us years ago. The fan will dry the top layer quickly and make the icing nice and shiny!

Here’s Sugarbelle’s tutorial about it:

Have fun baking!

Hi There!

My royal icing always dries in a matte finish. Is there anyway to help it stay glossy?
