*** As a caution these cups can be made in advance, but if kept for more than 12 hours the Whipping Cream will start to fade. If making in advance and planned to serve over 5 hours later make your Whipping Cream from scratch using heavy cream to help the whip cream hold up. Spray can Whip cream is great up for us speed but it fades quickly. After 12 hours the cake or cookie crumb become soggy.***
