SURPRISE CUPCAKES
I am a sucker for sprinkles- I love them on cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, cakes, ice cream– anything sweet only gets better by adding cupcakes in my opinion!
A long time ago I made hidden cache cupcakes for a mini food series I was doing and I thought it would be perfect to fill the cupcakes with sprinkles as if they were filled with hidden treasure.
It was perfect!
Since then I’ve made Fourth of July Cupcakes with a “firework” explosion of sprinkles hidden inside, and even piñata cupcakes with a colorful assortment sprinkles ready to burst out!
Filled cupcakes take your desserts to the next level!
Having a surprise inside a cupcake isn’t limited to sprinkles either! I love filling them with caramel, lemon curd, or even just delicious dark chocolate frosting.
How to make surprise cupcakes:
- Remove a small portion of the cupcake center
- Stuff holes with sprinkles or other filling
- Pipe frosting on top
- Enjoy!
How do I cut the hole out of the cupcake?
I recommend using a spoon, melon baller, or a potato peeler to cut the small center hole out of the cupcake.
What else can I fill cupcakes with?
Sprinkles, frosting, caramel, lindor chocolates, or your favorite little candies! All work well!
What kind of cupcakes should I use?
You can use any cupcake recipe! I love my chocolate cupcakes, yellow cupcakes, and white cupcakes! Or give these orange cupcakes a try!

Instructions
- Using a spoon, melon baller, or potato peeler (like me!), cut a circle out of the top of the cupcake and scoop out some of the inside of the cupcake.
