How long does it usually take the cupcakes to firm up enough to be able to apply the whipped frosting? I have the ingredients to make the cupcakes, but I'm missing the castor oil for the frosting. I was thinking about making the cupcakes tomorrow & then letting them harden & getting the castor oil this weekend. If not, can I just wait to make the cupcakes Saturday & then frost them on Sunday? I'm worried I'm gonna screw them up somehow.

You can actually pour the cp bottoms and immediately make the frosting or you could do it a day apart. I wouldn't do it too far apart. If you do it a day apart or more it helps to take a fork or toothpick and scratch the surface of your cupcake bottom that you will be frosting. This helps it adhere better.

Sigh...Cant afford to invest in that yet but will dedicate an old hand blender for it. Should work.
Just made some today. This is my best looking one. While they are okay looking, the process was torture through some of it. I never got the whipped consistency that you guys got & I followed the recipe exactly, even adding the corn starch. I made 24 cupcakes & was only able to frost 12 of them because the frosting was so hard to work with. It was hardening & jamming up the tip. I ended up getting it all over my arm when the bag burst open. I took what was left in my bowl & scooped it into a gingerbread man mold. I'm pretty sure if I got a fluffy whipped consistency I could have frosted them all, but it was like thick buttercream & even if I was able to use it all up it would have only frosted about 15. 12 cupcakes & a small deformed gingerbread man. I'm going to try again though. This is only my 7th batch of soap. Just figured I'd post my experience.
The cupcake is also supposed to be pink, but it turned out more purple. I'm not very good w/the micas I guess. I did neon pink w/some black to darken it because it came out pastel the last time I used it.
Your cupcake looks wonderfully edible. I'm sooo craving a cupcake right now. I'm sorry you had problems with it hardening.
