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!

    I am OBSESSED with French macarons. I want little bakeries all over Boston selling them. I promise to be a good customer 😉
    Both of your version sound (and look) absolutely delicious!!
    Looking forward to seeing what you and Megan bake next.

    You should definitely get her cookbook. I’ve had mine for a few months now and it’s very drool-worthy.

    That could be. It was a bit nerve-wracking to tell when they were mixed enough…
