Favourite Cupcake recipe
Directions:
Make your favourite cupcake recipe. It can be from a box, a homemade family favourite or any un-iced cupcake. Once cooled, use a cupcake corer to remove the cupcake’s core. Fill the inside of the cupcake with sprinkles.
Tint buttercream icing green using [easyazon_link identifier=”B0000CFMU7″ locale=”US” tag=”famfooandtr06-20″]Wilton’s Icing Colours[/easyazon_link] in Green. Make sure to use only a tiny bit because the gel is highly concentrated and you need very little to produce a nice green.

You can top with a different kind of sprinkles or decorator’s sugar but I thought it best to keep it simple with an inside full of sprinkles.

This is so cute! I love it! You could use these for gender reveal cupcakes at a baby shower. Totally versatile.
Thankyou for posting this awesome recipe. I already pinned it to my Board. I never heard of a cup cake core . Thankyou for the information! This idea is so clever I think I would probably put pudding in the middle. Have a Great St Patricks Day!!
I was wondering what the “treasure” would be when I saw the name of this recipe. How fun a surprise!
These are gorgeous and look yummy! Thanks for allowing me to share your post in my St. Patrick’s Day Roundup!

My girls mentioned that they would like to make cupcakes with treasures inside. Yours seem perfect. I just need one of the scooper tools.
Didn’t epicure have some sort thing you put into the cupcake that did that too?

How fun are these cupcakes?! I need to make these for my kids this year.
These are so cute!! I really love how they turned out! I am all about St Patricks day fun!
This looks so good, what a good idea! Looks like you cut the middle out after its cooked, what do you do with it?
Yes – that’s correct – you pop the middle out with a cupcake corer, fill with sprinkles and ice. The middle can be thrown out or eaten as is!
How fun are these?!?! I am going to try these out for my kids!
Those look great. I can’t wait to make some of these with my daughters. They’re going to really love this.
These look so fun. I bet they would make great treats to bring to school.

These are so cute! I love St. Patty’s surprise in the center.
