    Freezing Batter or Baked Stuff
    1. Baked cupcakes generally freeze better than unbaked cupcake
    batter.

    Cupcake (and cake) batter can be frozen for a short time (1 to 2
    weeks) but there will be changes in the volume and texture of the
    final baked product. It is more convenient to bake and then
    freeze because certain unbaked cakes should not be frozen: angel
    food, chiffon, chocolate, fruit, pound, yellow cakes and cheese
    cakes.

    Baked products must be frozen quickly, because during freezing
    moisture in a baked product changes into ice crystals. Slow
    freezing causes large ice crystals to form, which can result in
    a texture change in the baked product. Quick freezing results
    in smaller crystals.

    Incorrect thawing may produce a dry, dense product. When thaw-
    ing a frozen baked product, it is important to keep the freezer
    bag sealed to prevent moisture loss.

    Dig Deeper-Baked cupcakes with or without frosting
    Cupcakes (and cakes) freeze better without icing or filling.
    Cakes with uncooked frosting can be successfully frozen. Cakes
    with cooked frostings, whipped cream toppings or egg white
    frostings do not freeze well.

    RE: freezing cupcakes..
    I freeze cupcakes all the time and never put icing on them. My thinking is most likely I would mess up the icing and have to redo it, so it's easier for me to just put them in two zip lock bags and freeze them. I've found if you put one freezer bag inside another and zip them both up, I don't take the freezer taste. JMO.
