Cone Method
I learned about the cone method from the truely inspirational blog Cupcake Bakeshop. It’s a great way to put any filling into your cupcake.
If you’ve got someone willing to help, I’ve found that the process goes much faster with a partner. I’ve convinced hubby to help out a couple times. I cut and he fills.
Step 1: After cupcakes have completely cooled, use a sharp knife to cut out a cone.
Step 2: Scoop small amount of filling into cupcake.
Step 3: Replace top onto cupcake. I usually break off the cone part of the top so that it lies flat on the cupcake.
Step 4: Frost cupcake as usual and enjoy the look on everyone’s face when they get a surprise when they bite into your cupcakes!

im so sad it has come to an end too! anyway these must be pretty tasty
mmmmm those are one of our faves..i made them a TON last year..soo good
yours look great
These look delicious!! I bet they’d go over great at a 4th of July party! I loved your strawberry week- such a great idea!! 🙂
These look great! We definitely don’t need 3 dozen though and wouldn’t want so many to go bad. Do you think they’d freeze well? I was thinking of doing what you did with freezing the chocolate chip dough a few weeks back, but I’m not sure if the strawberries throw a wrench into the mix.
Sarah,
I’m not sure if these will freeze well. They were definitely best the day they were baked. Nice and crispy like a shortcake. The second day they were a bit more soft. I’d definitely be nervous to freeze them, but if you try it, let me know how it goes.
just made these, and we loved them! a nice little hot weather treat.
cheers,
*heather*
Yum! I’m planning to take my kidlets strawberry picking for the first time. This looks like a great way to use some berries.

I made mine canelle-style so they look like little pink footballs and sprinkled them with turbinado sugar…SUPER YUMMY!
