I used the vanilla cupcake recipe from Penzeys; used a cupcake corer and filled it with Strawberry Polaner All Fruit with Fiber; topped it with natural creamy peanut butter. Yup, it's not even frosting. [Side note: RJ doesn't really like frosting.]
I wanted to share my user experience regarding the cupcake corer. I like filled cupcakes, but I do not enjoy filling cupcakes. I like my cupcakes uniformly filled so that you can expect consistency. I find jamming the tip into a cupcake and squeezing the pastry bag makes me feel like I'm doing it consistently, but the results say otherwise.
So I saw the cupcake corer during a quick errand of picking up random baking supplies and decided to try it. I didn't actually get to use it until last night since i haven't made filled cupcakes since purchasing it. Overall, the product worked exactly as it was demonstrated on the package.
The only drawback in the product is it's way too wide to use on a normal-sized cupcake. The first two cupcakes I cored pretty much fell apart after I cored, filled, and frosted them. In the subsequent cupcakes, I didn't insert the corer as deep, which helped tremendously with the cupcake's structural integrity. Ideally, if I could find a narrower corer which functions exactly like this, I would definitely pick it up.
