Can You Freeze Cupcakes Again After Defrosting And Decorating? Best Method To Defrost, Decorate, And Store Cupcakes.

I made some undecorated cupcakes in advance and stored them well covered in the freezer. I was going to defrost them overnight covered in the fridge so I can decorate with buttercream tomorrow morning. However, I wish to decorate them tonight instead.
I'm debating between the following...
Defrost cupcakes, decorate and freeze them again?
Put decorated cupcakes in a bakery box and wrap it with saran wrap well and leave it in the fridge?
Leave cupcakes in a cupcake box wrapped in saran wrap on the counter overnight?
Also is it best to defrost in fridge from freezer, or should I defrost on counter straight from freezer?
too many choices for my little brain to follow -- when do you need to serve them, my friend?
I have a one freeze rule. I have found that freezing twice greatly degrades the texture of the product.
I would defrost, decorate, store covered at room temp, and serve up to 2 days later. If they're needed at a date later than that, I'd make a fresh batch closer to that date and save the frozen ones [still frozen] for another time--or serve those to family.
I agree with the one freeze rule when serving it to other people - freezing twice makes the cakes dry and hard sometimes.
That being said I always freeze slices of left over cake individually in glad wrap.
