How to fill a cupcake



 

I remember how excited I was when I found this Wilton’s No.230 Round “Bismarck” Decorating Tip. I love to make deserts for our Saturday night church meeting and am always looking for new recipes. This tip allows me to easily add filler to any cupcake.  


This time I decided to make chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and a vanilla filler. This readymade icing is my go too filler. It tastes a lot like marshmallow which doesn’t overpower the cupcakes when they are iced. They are really good without topped icing too.








After you have made your cupcakes let them cool completely. Fill an icing bag with your filler (icing in this case). 



Because I think learning to do this is best by actually seeing it done Here is a link to a Wilton video showing how to fill cupcakes. Below are my photos. Hopefully between the two it will make sense. 


After filling all the cupcakes I iced them with chocolate. To make it simple I used an icing bag and star tip.


 
 Here is a look at the inside of the cupcake after the filling and icing.







To add a little color I used Wilton sprinkles....
