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!

These look yummy!
I’ll have to try adding sprinkles to cupcake batter. I love the patriotic colors! I made something for the inauguration too!
Radical Obama cupcake icon! Love it! I was totally gonna do the same thing for my cupcake blog but I ran out of time. GMTA. 😉

These look great! I love the patriotic colors. I saw red, white and blue cupcakes today and they were so cute! Sprinkles were a great idea.
What a great poster. Thanks for the link!
