Cream Filled Cupcakes?

Before going gluten-free I was a snack cake addict! It is almost my birthday and I'm hoping to make a Hostess Cupcake knockoff. What do you think, is this doable? Suggestions?

Make cupcakes, bake, then using a pastry bag, while they are not, push through with a cream filled mix. Using a combination of a bit of butter/dairy-free margarine, icing sugar, a bit of extract and milk or dairy-free milk to thin it out is perfect.

I don't know what a cupcake like that you are talking about tastes like... Never had that sort of thing, but these are for delicious, cream filled cupcakes.

I use a paring knife and make a hole in the top of the cupcake and dig out some of the cake. Then I fill with whipped cream using a pastry bag. Then I frost them and store them in the refrigerator. There's a recipe and instructions for doing this at glutenfreeda.com. They are a lot of work but very tasty. :D I send these with my son to daycare and even the gluten eaters love them.

I think it's doable. I'm not sure if you want the (delicious) chocalate icing on top. I would have no idea how to do that. But I just made Gluten Free Pantry's vanilla cake mix and it was SO good.

I don't know that I would add the filling when the cupcakes are hot...perhaps out of the oven awhile and still warm. And then add your filling (you wouldn't want the filling to melt and run back out the hole).

Good luck to you and let us know how it turns out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :P

If you want a slightly easier way than stuffing a dozen or so cupcakes, i often make a tube pan cake, cut off the top 1/4, scoop out a trough, fill with filling and put the top back on. THen you can frost the top. It looks like a giant donut and tastes great!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I’m thinking if the $159 package comes back negative, I’ll wait a month — continue eating gluten 😖— and then purchase the $340 complete and comprehensive package.    Thanks again to everyone who has responded. I feel more hopeful than I have in a long time.

      I think keeping the information to yourself is a good idea. In fact, many doctors won’t give an official diagnosis without a biopsy so if someone asks if you have celiac disease and all you have are blood test results a “no” answer wouldn’t be totally wrong🙂. Until I had a biopsy my medical chart just said positive celiac antibodies, not celiac disease. If the WalkinLab $159 panel is negative you could still have celiac disease however.  It is a good start, testing for TTG IgA antibodies which most people with celiac disease have.  However, some people have IgG antibodies instead, and some only have antibodies against DGP (deamidated gliadin peptide). WalkinLab can also do those tests but the comprehensive panel is more expensive. WalkinLab celiac disease profile

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      My vitamin D is a bit low, but now too low, and I have just started taking 5000 IU again. In the past I have done 50.000 IUs at times to get the levels up higher, and might try that again, after I speak to my doc this week.

      Wow. Okay. I’m definitely going with private testing. And since my sister was diagnosed just last month, I’ll have her as a great resource. I’m otherwise in excellent health for a 60 year old woman. No diabetes, normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I work out regularly, although I’m too thin because I’m afraid of food. I appreciate both of your helpful, informative insights - Scott Adams and @plumbago.  I’ll let you know the results of my panel (giving blood sample on Wednesday) here on this thread.

      Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now).  I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on your PERMANENT RECORD!😉 On top of this, a majority of job applications that I've see in the past couple or years include "celiac disease" as a pre-existing condition that the employer requires you to disclose--do you have the same shot at the job if you say yes?:
