Tips
Do not let the cake batter sit after mixing as it will not rise and you will have a hard cupcake.
It's better to ice after the cupcake has completely cooled and in a cool room, the whipped cream is very sensitive to temperature and can melt on your cake if it is hot or if the room is too hot.
You can buy the store bought whipping cream like cool whip to avoid the hassle of preparation, just place it in the refrigerator the night before to thaw.
Always Refrigerate any cupcake or dessert that is made with whipped cream as it is highly perishable.
Do not store whipped cream for more than a day, it will lose its volume.
