*** I like to insert some store bought cream cheese icing inside the cupcakes using a cake decorator with the filling tip.
*** I just store in covered container on counter. So good they disappear. 
*** also I started using a tool to remove a plug out of the cupcake, then insert cream cheese icing using a piping bag into the hole. This is the best updated way to do it
