From a reader, respond in the comments please:
i'm helping out making cupcakes for a wedding and was wondering how long cupcakes last with icing? and is there a way of keeping them longer so we can make them in advanced?
because i imagine cupcakes only last max 4 days outside not in the fridge
because we have to decorate and then package them as well.
can you freeze the cupcake with icing with the packaging as well?
or is it okay to leave out for awhile?

i think frosted, refrigerated cupcakes are great the day they are made, great the next day, but start to drop off after that... i would still eat them myself, no doubt, but probably not serve them to others.
i have frozen well-wrapped, unfrosted cupcakes and cakes a week in advance to when i needed them. after thawing for 2 hours at room temp, my discerning tastebuds couldn't tell the difference. i wouldn't freeze them for too long though, they may dry out or get freezer burn.
i have frozen leftover buttercream frosting in freezer bags (separate from the cupcakes). again, tastes fine when its thawed out... but its usually pretty easy to whip up when you need it anyway.
