This is also a great treat to give to kids without giving them that extra fat, or extra unwanted calories.  To make things more fun, try filling your cupcakes with more frosting or any other topping you'd like to insert.  Use the Cupcake Corer to help you fill your delicious cupcakes.  Visit Surlatable.com to purchase your cupcake corer!  I have provided the link so its easier for you to purchase! ^_^  Happy Baking my Bloggers!
