I'd always been wary of recipes for filled cupcakes until I found my genius cupcake corer. I'd been whining to my boyfriend that morning that I didn't trust myself to core a cupcake with a knife. I didn't see how you could do it in a clean way without ruining the rest of the cake itself. So I was pretty amazed when that exact same day we were wandering a food specialty store in North Berwick and we just happened across the above set. Needless to say I got home and got baking!
They really make a difference to how versitile I can be with my baking now. In fact they've resulted in my mum's favourite cupcake flavour - lemon curd. I made a vanilla sponge, cored it with the corer, filled it with lemon curd and topped it with a light lemon frosting.
My next project using the corer is going to be the Strawberry Trifle cupcake from the new Hummingbird Bakery's Cake Days book. I'm going to change it slightly to put the strawberries through the cake as well as filled in the middle. I'm sure they'll become my mum's second favourite. I'll just have to wait until she's finished the batch of lemon curd's she's keeping in her freezer....
