Cone Method

Thursday, September 27, 2007

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 agree with you…i think the right type of frosting can really change the flavor of a cake/cupcake.
Your cupcakes turned out beautifully and i am sure they taste superb!

Are you coming to Cupcake Camp? I haven’t decided what I’m making, but it’ll likely include SMBC. If you try mine and hate it, I’ll have to accept that you just don’t like it.

I enjoy carrot cake but Hubby doesn’t like it, so I never make it. I just might have to soon though…
