By Claire Bolton


If you are looking for a way to celebrate a special moment or simply looking for a sweet snack, cupcakes Sydney can be a great indulgence. The only problem you are likely to find with the sweet treat is, it is not likely to keep its freshness for a very long time without proper storage.

How long your sweet treats are going to last you will depend in part on how you have made them. If made from scratch, they are likely only going to be at their freshest for about a day or so if you are only planning on leaving them on your kitchen counter. If instead you decide to put them in an airtight container and put them inside the fridge, they are likely to last you a little longer, four days at the most.

There are a lot of great companies out there that have boxed mixes available to make your baking experience much quicker and easier should you desire to enjoy the treats such as this but, not want to put the time or energy into making them from scratch. Unlike those that are made from scratch, you will find boxed mixes will last longer a little bit longer on the kitchen counter however, they to require refrigeration to maintain their freshness.

If you do not own an airtight container, it is still possible to store the dessert in a fridge, you will just need to take the time to wrap each in a piece of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Taking the time to wrap the sweets is important if you do not have an airtight container, if you have not properly stored them, they will quickly become dry and crumble and you will lose the fresh taste.

To keep the treats lasting for an even longer period of time, consider putting them in your freezer. Probably the quickest way to do it is to put it in an airtight, freezer safe storage container. Use caution when choosing your container, if you have not chosen one that is intended for the freezer it may cause food to become freezer burnt or even break the container once the container is exposed to cold temperatures.

Freezer safe containers are not the only option when storing items in a freezer. You can also opt to use freezer safe plastic bags. To keep your baking looking its best, when using these resealable plastic bags, it is a good idea to lay them down gently, side-by-side in the bag and put them into the freezer on a flat surface until they are completely frozen. Laying them on the flat surface will help prevent them from tipping upside down.

When you are ready to enjoy one of the sweet treats, remove from the refrigerator or the freezer and allow to set at room temperature so the texture will become soft and pliable again, giving it a much better taste and texture. It only takes a short time for your treats to warm up, it is important that you not leave them at room temperature for too long.

Regardless of whether you have chosen to make your cupcakes Sydney right from scratch or use a box mix, storage is an important part of the process. Storing your sweets can be quick and easy and allow you to enjoy them a lot longer.
