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!
It’s so cool to see so many people involved in Operation Baking Gals. Those soldiers are definitely going to feel the love from our goodies!
I’m so excited to learn about this! my brother is in the navy and I’ve seen how soldiers react when freshly baked cookies show up! Looking forward to reading you blog!
I (thankfully) dont have anyone you could sponsor, but just wanted to let you know how awesome it is that you’re doing this. My husband has deployed twice to Iraq in the past few years, each time for a year, and homebaked goodies were always among his favorite things to recieve. He recently got out of the marine corps but his unit is heading to afghanastan in the coming months, if I hear of anyone in need of extra goodies I’ll be sure to think of you girls! Thanks so much for supporting the troops!
Operation baking gals is so amazing!! Jon is going to love everything you sent!
This is a wonderful idea. The soldiers certainly need love from back home and what better way than cookies.
This is the first time I’d heard of the Baking GALS. I went and signed up!
Thanks!
