What do you put in cupcake as fillers?? Icing, jelly?

Can't you just jam a tip in there and squeeze?

I am going to have extra icing from this cake and don't want it to sit so I am going to try to have some fun w/ cuppers!

Thanks!

I've mixed some jelly/jam with leftover icing and used the long bismark tip to fill my cupcakes. I've also used pudding to fill with.

Hi

I made chocolate cupcakes and filled them with raspberry filling using this recipe and they were yummy! The filling was delicious and not too overpowering and didn't absorb into the cake. Hope this helps!

Yes, I just stick the tip in and squeeze.I use a star tip, I think #21. So far, I've only filled cupcakes with buttercream but you could definitely use jelly too.

do you guys do something to your cupcakes to make a hole in the middle, or do you bake them normally and then just stick a tip in the middle and fill?

I just stick the tip in and fill. Depending on the size of the cupcake and the consistency of the filler, I make either one or two holes. I have filled with raspberry jam, blackberry all-fruit spread, and peanut butter creme.

To make the peanut butter filling, I mixed half a jar of unsalted, natural peanut butter, about 2/3 cup (eyeball estimate, since I didn't measure) powdered sugar, and 3 T softened butter in a bowl, using a hand mixer. I then added enough cream to make a nice piping consistency. I beat it for about an additional minute to make it nice and light.
YUMMY!

Lemon or lime curd is super yummy! Really, you can pretty much make any fruit curd you want, then fold the curd together with some lightly sweetened whipped cream and fill cupcakes with that, too. I quite like blackberry curd myself - but make sure to strain out all those seeds! Deeee-lish!
