Cupcakes freeze beautifully, Debra. You don't need to do anything differently when making them. Simply allow the cupcakes to cool completely and then store in an airtight container. Try not to have anything touching the top of the cupcakes directly, as it might ruin the top crumb during thawing. (Store your cupcakes in a single layer.) As for making small batches of frosting, you're welcome to try halving most of our frosting recipes, and they'll still turn out well as long as there is enough volume of ingredients for your mixer to whip. However, I recommend making a full batch and freezing any excess to use another time. Most frosting recipes freeze quite well. They just need to come to room temperature, get a quick mix in a mixer, and then you're ready to apply it to your cake or cupcake. Just be sure to store your frosting and cupcakes separately during freezing, and you shouldn't have any trouble at all. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
