I saw on a recent episode of Cupcake Wars, one contestant was cutting the center out of cupcakes with something that looked like an apple corer in order to put fillling in it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I might purchase one. I've been using the wilton tip that you plunge in and squirt, but I'd like to give this a try. I find the Wilton gizmo makes it really hard to judge the amount you're putting in.

I improvised and used a big giant French Star tip I already had.

Slowly spin the "teeth" down into the center of the cuppy. Tilt a a bit to break it off and hold the little core of cake with your finger when you pull the tip out. It makes a nice little hole.

I've used bubble tea straws and hidden pillars, depending on the size of the cupcake. Push in, twist, pull out, use a thinner implement to push the cake out of the straw. Repeat. icon_smile.gif
