Biting into a cupcake filled with cream, icing or ganache is an incredible, surprising treat. Home cooks and kids can make filled cupcakes like a pro with the new Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set. Unfilled cupcakes will soon seem boring. The kit includes every tool needed to create and decorate filled cupcakes: a cupcake corer, two cupcake squeeze bottles, two decorating tips and a cupcake offset spatula.

The cupcake corer creates uniform cavities for filling with frosting, cream, ganache, candy or jelly. The corer requires a simple twist and pull so it is easy and mess free. The plastic corer is safe for kids to use and it features a guard to prevent the corer from being inserted too far into the cupcake. The plunger pushes out the cupcake core with ease and the plunger snaps out for cleaning.

The two transparent, easy-grip squeeze bottles are designed to compress together like an accordion. This action is much easier to control than the action needed for typical squeeze bottles that need to be clenched and squeezed in the hand. The squeeze bottles holds about a cup so few refills of icing are needed. A round decorating tip creates delicates lines for words and borders and a floral decorating tip is ideal for creating designs and for filling the cupcake cavity. An offset cupcake spatula is sized for the job of icing cupcakes and making artistic touches. The entire Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is top-shelf dishwasher safe and retails for $20. The Cuisipro Cupcake Corer and Decorating Set is backed by a 25-year warranty. For more information visit Cuisipro at www.cuisiprousa.com.
