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 Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Made this pie over the weekend. My pie pan was 9.5 and the filling looked a tad skimpy. I added cut out leaves on the crust border. It tasted as amazing as it looked. My family now has adopted this pie and renamed it to: Thanksgiving Pie. They joked about putting the pie between two pieces of turkey and adding a dollop of mashed potatoes and have a totally fantastic Thanksgiving meal. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I follow your blog and look forward to trying more things. I shared a picture of my pie on facebook.
