Frozen cupcakes when to ice!

Hi - I've made a couple dozen chocolate cupcakes for a birthday party this weekend - I'm wondering when to ice them (just using Betty Crocker icing) do you ice them fully defrosted or ice them when they are still frozen! Thanks :)I'm confused as have been told if they're defrosted they'll dry out but if frozen the icing may run!

I would think defrosted or at least not frozen solid - if you try to put icing on them frozen then the chances are the icing will freeze as well and be difficult to work with

The cake recipe i use is fine to ice with betty crocker once defrosted, they were as moist as the day i made them

I ice straight after they come out, but that is when I am doing 200+ so I just take 20 out at a time.
