This next cupcake comes from one of my cupcake books, "A Bakers field guide to cupcakes" and on page 142 Dede Wilson turned a classic childhood dessert into a cupcake.
The cupcake itself is different then the one Dede suggests. I use my own chocolate cake recipe. It's then filled with a creamy vanilla filling, chocolate frosting and then decorated with white frosting swirls.
It was actually a pretty easy and fun cupcake to create. Nothing to it really, but I was able to get some use out of my pipping tips, which is something I always enjoy. For this cupcake you'll need a #12 tip and a #3 tip. The #12 is used to squeeze the frosting into the center. You insert the tip right down the center of each cupcake and squeeze frosting until the cupcake begins to expand and crack.The cupcake has "now taken on as much filling as it can." The #3 tip as you might have figured out is used to create the signature swirl on top of a Hostess Cupcake.
These cupcakes are now for sale for $1.50 each, please call ahead as cupcakes are made to order.

What kind of vanilla filling inside? Is it super sweet? Is it like the hostess ones? Hey Hey where are the Travis testimonies? Is he becoming a blimp? Hehe.
