I had to make 50, so to save time, the night before I whipped up the batter and frosting. It was getting late and I was afraid of falling asleep while the cakes were in the oven so I just left the batter in the mixing bowls and put it in the fridge overnight. Bad idea. The next day the batter was a bit doughy instead of smooth, but I figured once it was baked the texture would be the same. I was wrong. The cakes turned out very gummy and deflated, even after baking for an additional 20 mins. The frosting couldn't save them either. I ran out of good butter and used a tub of spreadable butter instead for the buttercream frosting. Well, I had gone this far, there was no point turning back. I bit my lip and brought the cupcakes to my niece's. Needless to say, the next day, with a whole bunch of leftover cupcakes in her house, my sister said, "Did you do your cupcakes differently this time?"
