I had the same problem as kallen18. After putting hours of hard work in baking and decorating two dozen of these cupcakes, they were melted the next day. Luckily, i had some extra cookies, etc. and was able to fix them and keep them out on my cold porch. This is the only reason keeping me from rating these cupcakes with 5 spoons. My family loved them!

Good Idea for the kiddies while we're waiting for Thanksgiving Dinner. Gives them something constuctive to do instead of running around and making alot of noise while Mom is cooking in the kitchen.

I wanted to amend my below review to add - if you aren't serving these right away, wait to put the candy corn in place. I don't know if it was the brand I used (Brachs) or some other factor, but several of them melted into a sugary puddle after sitting at room temperature (covered in a tote), and then even after being refrigerated awhile to harden them up. It was still a success though - after all, I made them for five-year-olds, and they're not too picky!
