Has anyone ever heard of this and how would you put ice cream in the middle of cupcakes?

I saw it on Uwrapped on the food networkThis guy started making these ice cream cupcakes for his ice cream shop..I think he cuts out the cake in circles and fills the muffin pan with one layer and then soft ice cream levelled off and then adds a top circle of cake and then adds ganache and freezes the whole thing....Looked really yummy.

This might help

Thanks so much Kiddiekakes & Joyfull.

Ok, now I know how to make the ice cream filled cupcakes but does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it look like one big cake? Wonder if it would be possible to do a fbct? I don't think I could work fast enough to decorate this before it all melted, unless I was standing in a freezer. LOL Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen combo cuppies at Coldstone Creamery that I want to try (http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/novelties/cupcakes.html). They have a chocolate shell with a layer of cake topped with a layer of icecream, and then decorated with frosting and toppings. This may be way off topic, but your post made me think of these.

Oh yeah--how I would make them...

I would make chocolate shells using the Wilton silicone cupcake liners. Bake a sheet cake and cut out circles to put in the bottom of the chocolate shells. Then slightly soften some ice cream and scoop it on top of the cake. Frost, decorate, and see the kids devour.

Thanks Sara789 for the tips but I dont' think I could decorate them before the ice cream melted. I could one at a time but she wants the whole thing to look like one big cake.

Heres an older thread about ice cream cakes from Tracys SDs..
