What Icing is Best on Cherry Pie Cupcakes?

I love a creamy and sweet but not too sweet frosting on to my cupcakes. That is why I like to make this homemade buttercream frosting for the cherry pie cupcakes.

Do These Cupcakes Have to Be Refrigerated?

Fresh fruits would need to be refrigerated, but being that this recipe only calls for Cherry pie filling which have already been processed and cooked, which will allow them to be able to be left out for a day or two. But when cooled in a refrigerator, the cupcakes will last longer than at room temperature.
