Tips and Tricks: How to core and make a filled cupcake

March 17, 2012 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 14 Comments

Admit it, you love a filled cupcake like you love a jelly of creme filled donut. It’s the kind of thing that begs and pleads you to take a bigger bite towards the center for the mother load.

Stuff, fill or inject – there are a variety of ways to creating a well for making a filled cupcake.

Yes, there is such thing as a cupcake corer, and even though, I’m an obsessive kitchen gadget collector, I don’t really see the sense in buying one. I already have an apple corer that I crossover from fruit to cupcake.

Here’s the simple technique. Hold the corer 90 degrees above the intended object, in this case, the cupcake – push down, turn and pull up. Voila! Done. Your cupcake is now cored and ready to be filled.

Stay tuned as I work my way through some more tips and tricks to successful cupcake making.

And yes, a filled cupcake recipe is coming in a day or two. But I’m still trying to get that rose cupcake tutorial video up first-not as easy as I thought. Or maybe it is, but I’m a perfectionist. In any case both will posted soon.

    I’ve injected a cupcake with filling before, but haven’t thought to use a corer. That seem much easier and less messy!

    How funny, I JUST posted a cupcake recipe where I injected filling for the first time ever. These are good tips. I actually used a strawberry corer and it worked pretty well.

    Yes, there is such thing as a cupcake corer = LOL and now that I know it exists, I want it. I’ve seen those cupcake & cake injectors at BB&Beyond and similar stores, but I want this now. lol

    What a wonderful, money saving, clever tip! Just last week I added a cupcake corer to my wish list – now I see there’s no need to.

    Hi,
    If you feel like it do you think you can try making a Merveilleux? I cannot find a good recipe for it or more like I cannot find anything on it. I saw it on David Liebovitz’s blog [he ate one in Paris] and I really would like to make one. I figured this one was something you may be interested in considering the content of your blog:-)
    Thank you,
    Anna

    The fact that you tell people how to core a cup cake is very sad. Just use a large star tip.

    Two of my best friends are sort of famous for their ice-cream-filled cupcakes, and they managed it all by hand. I wish now that I could have given them one of these at the time, though I wonder if it would have taken some of the fun out of it…

    I too use my apple corer for cupcakes. It works like a charm!

    Hi I Make Cakes Too-For me personally, I find using a star tip messy and cumbersome. I think an apple corer is so much easier. That said, thanks for sharing your method.

    I like vanilla cupcake filled with preserve strawberries. It really taste so good.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
