Anyone seen or tried anything like that? Opinions?

Very interesting. I haven't seen this one before. I would like to hear about successes or flops as well.

Personally, I have never imagined a creature such as this. It has not been a problem to fill a cup cake. I wouldn't want it simply because it would just take up more space I don't have. But others may feel differently about this.

I'm with gritswife. Although it looks interesting, how many times would it actually be put to use? More parts, not enough space in my storage. How many novelty items have you all bought with the "this is totally going to cure ________ problem". got it, and have only used it once because of the PITA factor? I have boxes full of those!

lol thanks .... I doubt I would purchase it, I am cheap like that ... but I work at hsn so I get a discount lol and sometimes these little novelty things are kinda cool, definitely looks like it saves time and mess though when having to hollow cupcakes

I dont watch those networks at all, but I know that if I worked at one...ugh, I'd have a house full of cr@p and I'd be poor...lol. More power to you!

It takes 2 seconds to plunge a tip into a cuppie and fill it up.. this I would file under 'totally un-necessary tools'.

Wow - that looks to me like it would leave a HUGE hole/indentation in the top of a cupcake, unless I am wrong in how it appears to be used. I would think this would cause a larger problem than it would solve - IMHO.

hummmm, who would really consider buying this? eh... not me.. total waste of money and space... I seriously doubt it even works well.. jmho, of course

I think it's cool, unnecessary, but cool. I love to buy all the stuff that I so don't need

Waste of money for anyone who can use a piping bag. It's a novel idea and I am sure there are some people who will think it's cool (as evidenced by the fact that it's sold out) but not me.

I agree it takes just a few seconds to fill your cupcake anyway and I have to save the space I ( almost ) have left for things I have to have. Let us know what you hear about how it works though.

I wouldn't buy one personally because I just use a piping bag and tip to fill my cupcakes. But when I first looked at it, I thought it wouldn't leave a huge hole in the top because the cupcake would rise above it. But then I realized the silicone piece would have to come out of the cupcake so it would pull a big hole in the top of the cupcake. SO I don't know really if it would work well or not. Interesting though...

Hi. Nice to meet you Amanda....

I'm in Cookeville, about 80 miles East of Nashville. How about you?

Yep!

there must be another use for this gadget other than just filling a cupcake w/filling. what about using the cupcake for a desert server??? you know how they have those chocolate cordial cups maybe a layered desert??? I don't think I could justify purchasing such an item, but, thinking out of the box

Wouldn't you have a cupcake with filling coming out of the bottom, it's so simple to stick a tip in and squeeze. And who want's to clean that!! Not Me.

I wouldn't want to use it for what they are suggesting but I am thinking it might be good to bake angel food cupcakes and fill the cavity with fresh strawberries...no icing.

I will never buy another Debby Meyer product. Her "green bags" suck and were a complete waste of $20.

I don't think it would work well for making dessert cups because it just leaves a smallish hole. You really couldn't get much in there. JMHO!

I wouldn't waste my money on it!

I could see this added to the next time someone posts a

"Cake Tools You Wish You'd Never Bought" thread.

Someone gave me one of those green bags to try - yes, they suck. The boxes sound like something worth me trying. Anyone else ever used them?

That is amazing.... It's sold out....
