Prep time: 10 minutes
Yields: 24 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 3

Ingredients:

24 Yellow cupcakes (Cooled to room temperature)
2 cups Filling (Such as jam, thick caramel sauce, marshmallow cream e.t.c. See above for more filling ideas)
4-6 cups Frosting (Such as chocolate, vanilla e.t.c )

Nutrition:

How to cook:

Bake cupcakes and allow them to cool completely.
Prepare filling and chocolate frosting.
TECHNIQUE 1: Fill a piping bag with filling of your choice and attach Wilton's Tip # 230. Hold the piping bag on top of the cupcake and gently push it through the center, about halfway through. Then, squeeze your piping bag until the center of cupcake starts filling up and gradually pull away. Finally, top it all off with a swirl of frosting and you are done.
TECHNIQUE 2: Make a hollow center in your cupcake, using an apple corer or a big cake decorating tip such as Wilton's Tip # 1M. Remove this middle cupcake piece but don't discard it. Use a spoon to fill the cupcake with filling of your choice. Cover the top with that small cupcake piece you had removed earlier. Finally, top it all off with a swirl of frosting and you are done.
Techniques 3: This is rarely done but worth mentioning. Remove cupcake from liners and slice it in half horizontally. Place one half on a serving dish and spread a spoonful of thick filling on top. Place the other half of cupcake on top of the filling. Finally, top it all off with a swirl of frosting or ganache and you are done. I did this for my Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes.

Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 3

Ingredients:

1 box Cake Mix (Pillsbury - prepared using cupcake directions (we used Funfetti))
1 container frosting ((we used Funfetti))
8 oz. Whipped Topping (or fruit filling)

Nutrition:

How to cook:

Prepare cake mix according to package directions using the "cupcake" directions (should make 18-24 cupcakes).
Scoop frosting into a medium-sized bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix on high-speed until frosting amount seems to double (you are whipping air into it to make it lighter and fluffier). Don't whip too long or it will flatten again.
When the cupcakes have cooled, cut a cone shape out of the top of the cupcake by placing the knife at an angle into the cupcake top and cutting a circle, leaving the tip of the knife at the center of the cupcake.
Remove the cut-out "cone" from the center of the cupcake and fill the hole with whipped cream (you can also use pudding, jam, berries, pie filling or frosting.. my kids wanted the whipped cream so that is what we went with).
Place the cone back on the cupcake over the filling with the flat side DOWN.. so it looks like your cupcake is wearing a party hat.
Place your whipped frosting in a piping bag (or you can use a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off), and pipe frosting around the cone and work upwards until the cone is covered.
Top with sprinkles and enjoy!

Creamy Center Cupcakes

My mother made these cupcakes from scratch when I was growing up, but I simplified the recipe with a cake mix. Sometimes Mom would replace the smooth filling with homemade whipped cream. They are really good with either filling. —Caroline Anderson, Waupaca, Wisconsin
