I do have a pet peeve. Wasted Cupcakes! You have seen it before too, in a kiddie birthday party aftermath, a table full of frosting-eaten-only-cupcakes. All that work wasted. May as well given the kids a pile of frosting and a spoon and they would have been just as happy. To try to solve this issue- can we solve anything when kids are involved?- I send my children to school with the Inside Out Cupcake. That’s right, a good ole stuffed cupcake for that frosting-in-every-bite-experience. It seems to work too. No more wasted cupcakes. See how it’s done…
TIP: Some of the cake may goop up around the outside of your decorator tip. Wipe with a damp cloth. Be sure to make the star at the top of your cupcake slightly bigger than the hole you just made, just to tidy things up a bit!
Just is case you’ve missed them…

Maybe fill them with vegetables, to really fool them? No, that's probably going too far …
A clever idea, and another great tip.
My icing skills are pretty rudimentary, but thanks to your videos, I'll try getting a little bit fancier.
I understand what you are saying about it not being easy with your children, work, etc., but you sure do make it look easy to do these icing techniques.
I need to try these, because frosting on the inside is why I have loved the frosting filled powdered sugar donut and Dunkin Donuts my entire life.
Genius to put the frosting on the inside!
But I can't wait for your homemade cake mix recipe tomorrow.
Great idea, but I would continue to pipe the top of the cupcake with even *more* buttercream!
Karen- that is how Himself wants them but wow do they make a mess in the lunchboxes. These pack up great for the kids and no frosting mess stuck to the plastic wrap!
I don't know why I haven't done this for Caleb. He ONLY eats frosting. Added this to my plans for his birthday party!
I love the idea of putting frosting on the inside- definitely adds a little something extra to a great cupcake!
