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 amazing! Cupcakes are my favorite thing to make, I think I’ve made 4 kinds in the last month. Now, I just need to work on my photography skills….

Nice! I have tons of cupcake recipes on here if you’re looking for inspiration 🙂
These cupcakes did not look like they rised very much… can I use baking soda as well as baking powder? Or would that ruin the cupcake?
