Ok so I am making cupcakes for the superbowl tomorrow and I have been wanted to try filling cupcakes (they sound yummy). I was looking through the Wilton Cupcake Fun book and it shows Tip 230 to use to fill or using the long narrow tip on that frosting/cookie press deal. Well I don't have tip 230 and then realized I have a cookie press (2 of them actually) that I never use because I don't like it. I also have one of the cheap injector deals that came with a making donut kit that I got as a gift several yrs ago. So I start looking at them all and there it is the long tip needed to fill the cupcakes with. YIPPEE icon_smile.gif Now I can fill cupcakes and put to use those cookie presses and injector tools I never use! icon_wink.gif Sorry so long.

Most people core out a hole cut the core part so they can cap the hole when finished. I like to make hole in top fill it up and just icing over it. icon_smile.gif HTH

I don't cut a hole in my filled cupcakes. I just stick a big round tip into the middle thru the top and squeeze. The filling just goes right into the middle. My guess would be that there is enough air inside the cake, that the cake from the middle juts moves.
