Yes, it is entirely possible to freeze the vanilla cupcakes. In fact, even if they have been frozen, the cupcakes will retain their excellent taste and perfectly moist texture. You can then keep a small reserve in the freezer and thaw them as needed. Make sure to let your pastries cool completely before placing them in the freezer. This will prevent condensation inside the airtight container in which they will be preserved, which could make them too moist during thawing.

To transport cupcakes without creating a mess, the best method is to use a cupcake box. These boxes are specifically designed for cupcakes, providing individual compartments for each cupcake. This prevents them from shifting and protects their beautiful presentation. Alternatively, you can place the cupcakes in the small muffin liners in which they were baked. In this case, you would need to insert toothpicks into the pastries so that you can cover them with plastic wrap. The toothpicks create a small tent of plastic wrap, helping the cupcakes to remain beautiful and fresh.
