There are a lot of ways of making stuffed cupcakes. This is the one I use when the stuffing can lose the flavour if put in the oven ... it also makes me feel like Indiana Jones in The Temple of Doom (taking out the heart of the cupcakes ;o)).

Ingredients:

The cupcakes

Something to use as stuffing (I used quince)

Directions:

1. Use a core remover like this one:

2. Strongly and carefully, vertically stab the top of the cupcake with the core remover. Do not push it to the cupcake bottom or it will surely break. 3. Rotate the core remover and take it out. This procedure is quite easy.

4. Push the device’s button and discard the core.

5. Once you have removed the core of all cupcakes. Put the stuffing in a syringe or another device (I use decopen) that can be heated in the microwave (and heat it a little bit). You can also pre-heat the stuffing before putting in the syringe.

6. Fill the cupcake core using the device of your choosing.
