Ok, so I know that people have posted that to fill a cupcake you can just like stick a tip in and fill... but Ive been thinking about this.... What tip do you ue to jab in the cupcake to fill... and how does it work, I mean there is no room inside the cupcake... where does the cupcake go that your filling? Does that make sense....
I want to try some new cake flavors this weekend, so thought I might give some cupcakes to some friends.... but Im confused on how I fill them???

I just filled some last night and I used a #2 with buttercream to fill. I guess because the cupcake is porous it fills easily. I did three different entry areas in a triangle-shape. (Is this making sense?) It had about as much filling as a hostess cupcake has inside of it.
Sorry, can't help with the disappearing cupcake innards (LOL). Not quite sure about that.
Oddly enough, I just did this for the first time two nights ago. I know that there are "special" tips that wilton has (long with a pretty wide opening) to do this sort of thing. I used my Pampered Chef decorator. It's like an icing gun. It comes with a tip for this that is longer and has a hole the diameter of the the Wilton 12 tip. It worked great - I stuck it into the top of the cupcake half way down and filled it until it started to crack at the top. Then covered them with icing. Everyone loved them - the filling pushes away some of the caupcake I think - either way it fit and there was a nice amount of filling in the middle. Hope this helps!
Hi!!
I use tip 230 to fill my cupcakes. I usually fill and kind of move up with the tip out of the cupcake so as not to overfill. I fill in about three or four different areas. I think there's a link on that here somewhere but I just can't find it.
I hope I was able to be of some help!
HI. I use tip 16 and stick it in the bottom of the cupcake and squeeze untill it barely starts to crack. It seems to work fine for me. The only thing is you have to take the paper liner off. I guess sticking it through the top would have the same effect.
So the cupcake just dissapears... LOL... Poof, no one knows where the cupcake goes...
I decided today I want to make cupcakes tonight... so I guess I'll figure something out.... I want to try some new cakes, and figured cupcakes would be a good way to test new flavors... I just gotta find some people to give them away to now... Im gonna do Pumpkin spice cupcakes, and gingerbread cupcakes (Using the creamers) and fill with apple filling...
About those creamers everyone is raving about. I couldn't remember if you use the liquid or the powder, and what flavor. Thanks
You can use either the powder of the liquid creamers... and any flavor you want! I use the liquid creamers and currently in my fridge I have Chocolate Raspberry, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, Vanilla Caramel & Coconut Cream....Ive also heard people rave about the vanilla Chai--- I havent tried that yet.
Anyway I just baked my cupcakes OMG so good! I made a regular white cake mix, and substituted half the water for the creamer....
The apple filling I made was just a can of apple pie filling, blended smooth, then heated with a little butter, some brown sugar and cornstarch for thickening. Im going to fill the pumpkin spice & ginger bread cupcakes with the apple filling and top with cinnamon buttercream....
I just tried the pumpkin spice one with some apple and BC and its YUMMY!!!!
It's not that the cake disappears - most of the cake is air, so where you force the cream, the cakes kind smooshes in on itself and also acts like a sponge and soaks some of it up, but mostly the force of the "injection" pushes the cake out of the way and pushes out some of the air space.
Sounds delicious btw!

I filled some the other day. I used a Wiltion Desert decorator. I bought it on impulse a year ago because it was on clearence for $7.00. I'm a gadget guy, but I never used it because of the small capacity.
So the other night I went to get a couple of cupcake pans and saw it. I thught hey look at that long round tip in there...hum.... so I filled it with raspberry fruit filling stuck it in the top of a cupcake and injected away....cool it worked perfectly!
I filled my cakes washed the little gadget up, gave it a hug, and set it back on the shelf beside that little Wilton comb thingamabob that looses it's little comb fingers when your trying to use it.
