[...] We all love cupcakes. They’re adorable and small, easy to eat, and always decorated. Yet, most of us like to use the premixed cupcake stuff from a box. No good. These ten best cupcake recipes will get you wondering how much you missed out on great cupcakes. Raspberry filled, vanilla filled, peanut butter frosting, why would you ever go back to the box?

Erika, Thanks for the comment! You really do need to try this. As far as getting the scoop, I just cut at a 45 degree angle, maybe a bit more than a quarter inch from the edge of the cupcake. Then I just slice in a circle. What ends up coming out of the top is more like a cone. Once you have that out, you’ll really want to scrap out some of the cake (did I mention that? Crap, sorry. I should really edit that and add it. Doh!) inside, and maybe trim the tip off the cone, or whatever shape you managed to get out. Otherwise when you try to put that cone back it’ll look like a cork half sticking out of a bottle. It really is easy.

Also, awesome site by the way! I dabble in art myself. I have fifty million paintings all over the house that I really need to do something about. The creation of art is so fun, but the selling….ugh!

Thanks for stopping by! (And sorry for not getting back to you until now!)

Hi, amazing looking recipe! I can’t wait to try it, but how did you get such a nice scoop out of the cupcake to fill with curd? Thanks!

I’m finally getting on responding to all of your comments. Thanks for stopping by!

Carrie, Mermaid Sweets and Lorena:
I strongly suggest that you give these a try because they were great! They’re a bit of work, but nothing too complicated. The results are certainly worth it!

Danny,
After many many lemon meringue pie disasters, I actually have Alton’s recipe down pat so the cupcakes were fine. But I have been meaning to try out the Contessa’s recipe for the heck of it…you can’t have too many lemon curd recipes in your repertoire right?

Hey Aimee!

You should’ve tried the Barefoot Contessa lemon curd! I think the runny curd comes from the cornstarch….maybe cook it longer?

Just looking at the pictures made me hungry! I’ll probably use this recipe for Easter.

This is PERFECT – my dad is coming to visit me and wants something lemon and I have lemon curd left over. Thanks – love the site btw.
