How to Put Filling Into Cupcakes

Cupcakes with filling are always crowd-pleasers.  I've used three different methods to fill cupcakes:

1. Use a small paring knife to cut a cone out of the center of the cupcake.  Fill with your favorite cupcake filling, replace the piece you removed, and frost.
2. Fill a piping bag with your filling, stick the tip into the center of the cupcake, and fill. This method only works with light, airy cupcakes.
3. Use a cupcake corer (my favorite method) to make a hole in the cupcake.  Fill with your favorite cupcake filling, replace the piece you removed, and frost.

For extra filling, use methods 1 or 3 and eat (rather than replace) the removed pieces.
