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!

Congrats, Jen! Your French silk pie bars look heavenly. 🙂

Thanks!
Best news ever! Congratulations!
French silk pie is my favorite way to Blizzard at DQ, so I know these bars would be right up my alley, too. Funny that you mentioned about the lack of chocolate curls. I noticed earlier this week that in the bakery department at Wal-Mart, of all places, they had packaged chocolate curls. Haven’t tried them, but I made a mental note for the future. Just passing along!

Woah, they have a French silk pie blizzard at DQ?!? I always get Heath and M&M in mine. I’ll have to let my brother know about that.
Interesting to know since making chocolate curls is not something I’m good at. Let me know if you try them and I’ll do the same.
