Sorry! I had to! Anyway, I think that would be too difficult to get into the cupcake, and the bendy part would be unstable. That's just my guess... someone else may beg to differ. I would stick with the pointy dowels! sammie192 Regular Member Joined: Jan 04, 2008 Posts: 124 Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:50 am  melvira that is cute I want to fill them also but thought the skewers would work , can you fill them?

Oh yah, you can fill them. That shouldn't be a problem. ziggytarheel Forum Addict Joined: Aug 26, 2007 Posts: 704 Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 11:00 am  I guess I asked too many questions earlier. Has anyone frozen cupcakes baked in the party nut cups? If so, how did they work out? And, how do cupcakes do that are frozen in their paper wrapper? Do the wrappers lose any of their integrity or looks or...whatever? And, I LOVE the idea of FBCT on cupcakes! I just might have to try that for my daughter's college graduation. I can see her school logo done on a few. Unless of course I feel the need to try those flower cupcakes. And I'm thinking they might need the ganache in the center.

For some reason right now I can't find my nut cups and I really want to use them. I can find the teeny-tiny ones, but not the standard cupcake size ones. I just put l'il man down for his nap, so I think I'll go tear up the cake supply room looking for them!

No noticeable difference compared to cupcake papers. (Although - I've not had the issue with the cake pulling away from the papers either...) I'm not a big fan of the nutcups. Even if you cut a notch in the side they're really hard for people to get off the cupcakes. They do look nifty though. They need to have those pull tabs like cellophane wrappers on CDs or something. pjmw Frequent Member Joined: Jan 03, 2008 Posts: 241 Location: Illinois Birthday: Jul 29 Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:39 pm  Oh Melody25...that website is dangerous!

Then I made them into cupcakes for a friend's birthday. http://www.epicurious.com/reci.....ews/107105 I used half the recipe. Penny727 Forum Addict Joined: Jan 03, 2008 Posts: 629 Location: Delaware Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 4:52 pm  Here's the link for the ones that I made. Even people who swore they didn't like Guinness, really liked these. http://cupcakestakethecake.blo.....nness.html Since the recipe is for cupcakes, they were also really easy to make - although I think I got less than the 30 the recipe said...I think I got 26 or 28 maryjsgirl Forum Fanatic Joined: Mar 03, 2007 Posts: 1140 Location: far away from your fear mongering Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:40 pm  I haven't had a chance to make this yet, I just look at them and drool... http://thebarmybaker.blogspot......cakes.html Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year  Oldest FirstNewest First     CakeCentral.com Forum Index » Cupcakes!
