In reply to Louise Sanchez. Hi Louise, yes definitely the frosting stores very well in the fridge.

Just tried these cupcakes and the chocolate ones are cooling. Just wondering can the frosting be made a day ahead?
Thank you

In reply to Lia Cunningham. Hi Lia! So glad the cupcakes are working out great! For the frosting, since it's turning out so soft for you, start out without adding any non-dairy milk at all, and then only add in a tiny bit at a time so that you get the right consistency. If that still doesn't work great then my recommendation would be to switch brands of vegan butter to get one that is much firmer. All the best!

My husband is vegan but the rest of the family is not. I’ve been making your cupcakes and everyone absolutely loves it!! The only thing I can’t seem to get right is the icing. I follow the exact recipe, add some more powdered sugar to make it thick. It is just a little runny! So it’s just somewhat flat on the cupcake..Help!! Any suggestion is appreciated.

In reply to Allison. Hi Allison, I'm not sure about cake flour, others have used it in our recipes with success before, but I'm not 100% sure if it will work as well. The crumb in these isn't dense at all, as long as you don't over-mix the batter and bake them right away they are super light and fluffy. If you do swap for cake flour I would definitely do a test run first and see how they turn out. All the best! :)

Hello Alison, love your site for my dairy and egg allergic child! I’d like to try these for my son’s birthday. What do you think of swapping cake flour for AP flour to make the crumb less dense? Would it change any of the other proportions? Thanks!

In reply to Stephanie. The type of sprinkles you use are what causes this to happen. Jimmy sprinkles are the best if you can get them.

Hello, I love making your cupcakes, but just need a little advice i have tried making your funfetti cupcakes twice now and both times the sprinkles just dissolve so have no colour in the cake. please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you for your recipes.

In reply to Cara. Thanks so much Cara! I think it would work well with a gluten-free all purpose blend. :)

I have made these and some of you other cupcake & cake recipes and every time get rave reviews. Thank you Alison for helping this fairly new vegan continue to enjoy baked treats!!
Has anyone tried this recipe using an alternative flour to make gluten free? Any tips?
