How Do You Store Your Cupcakes In The Fridge?

Lol. Well if you must put them in the fridge because of a perishable filling or something, make sure they are wrapped well - but realize that this may make the liners pull away or decorations melt and the moisture is too trapped. I'm with Mimi, room temp for a day, freezer for longer.
My fridge cupcakes are nice and moist :drool:
puddin in the mix
Why do you need tips and hints then? I don't mean that in a b*tchy way, just genuinely curious.
I just have them on a plate with a plastic bag around them, I wonder is anyone has better storage ideas in the fridge for them. I didn't know that people didn't keep cakes and cupcakes in the fridge. 
Mimi, I have seen your bio picture. Is it airbrushed? You couldn't eat a bunch of cupcakes if you tried.
For those who don't know Mimi, she is a published author and she is very fit.
I too do not put them in the refrigerator. I bake for customers so that there is no refrigeration or freezer and I just add the buttercream jusst before pickup or delivery.
If I have extras, my family knows to eat them in two days and then they get thrown away. And I always have plenty of people happy to take my over-runs.
I never put cupcakes (or cake either) in the fridge. Refrigeration drys out cake. It's a terrible way to treat nice baked goods.
I never notice any dryness from my refrigerated cakes or cupcakes, but I will start leaving them out. Is it okay to leave them out in hot, humid environments? Do you leave cream cheese frosted ones out too? Would you leave items like key lime pie out too?
I hear a lot of people talking about freezing their baked goods and that sounds stranger to me than keeping them in the fridge, but I'm willing to learn new things and try new ways.
If you properly cover/wrap cake, freezing it will not hurt it in the least. Actually, I've found sometimes it's helped improve the texture! I don't freeze very often, but any time I have, it's thawed out beautifully.
I'd rather do that than put them in the fridge, to be honest.
I put mine in a snapware cupcake container then put them in the fridge. Just had one yesterday that had been in the fridge since Friday (ate it Sunday afternoon) and it was absolutely scrumptious!
Ok, so I am now at a point where I have this same issue. I just opened a bakery and I have a small selection of cupcakes in a display. So at night I cant afford to just throw away every thing that didn't sell that day so I have been putting them in a huge container and putting that in the refrigerator so that direct air is not on them, but now I am rethinking this. Perhaps I should just put the container on the counter in the bakery kitchen overnight. Feedback please, I need help from someone with experience.

Pounds,
many members have said they don't refrigerate them. But you should also think about the frostings, and fillings you use.
I have purposefully put some in the refrigerator for both one and two days to test the quality, and for one day I find the quality is not noticeably different for most of my cupcakes(I make everything from scratch, if that matters). Things like my lemon meringue...the frosting doesn't hold up well in the fridge.
For most things though - the 2 days still tasted "fine" but not as fresh as I would like, and I don't think I would sell them at that point. But the next day - probably. I would just make sure to do a quality taste-test. Or sell them at a discount as day-old?
If I know ahead of time I'm not going to be using the cupcakes I bake in the next day though, I will freeze them - well-packaged, unfrosted, and unfilled. I have frozen them for up to a week and haven't had any adverse effects and in fact along the lines of what another poster said, I sometimes find the moistness and texture to be better with the cupcakes that have been frozen for a few days. Just my 2 cents!
I don't bake a lot of cupcakes but last time I did, I put them in a tupperware box and left them on the counter (with no frosting) on top. The next day they were sticky on top, like there was humidity! they were perfectly cold when i storage them, I made them in the morning and storaged around 9pm
