I need to have loads - and I mean LOADS ! - of cupcakes ready in October.
Can I bake several batches and freeze them until October ?
How long do they take to defrost to decorate ?

For longer periods of storage, where the likelihood of freezer burn increases, we recommend double-wrapping cupcakes in plastic wrap and foil (in groups or individually) before placing them in the freezer. And make sure to unwrap them before thawing.
Oh and they said not to ice or decorate til thawed.
Incidentally, you should ice your cakes when they are still frozen, much easier when the cake is hard.
They should defrost very quickly, within an hour I would have thought.
If I was you I would bake up a batch and do a test run to see how easy it is to ice them when straight out of freezer and also to see how long they take to defrost.
As I said before, try and see what happens.
