Is filling for cupcakes different than filling for between cakes?

No you can use the same. I've been looking for a good strawberry filling for cupcakes too, preferably not dairy.

Since I love cream cheese, I do the same as clevercupcakes, but I add softened cream cheese to it. Yum!

My filling is just the preserves themselves. Just stir it up before you squirt it in the middle

how do you squirt the filling inside a cupcake?
I have a basic wilton decorating kit....is there a large tip I could use?
do I have to remove cake?

There is actually a cupcake filling kit, it runs about 7-8 dollars if I remember correctly. It comes with a long cupcake filling tip, that you just insert into the cupcake and squeeze in some filling lifting it back up out of the cupcake as you go. It also comes with a very large star tip for easy, nice looking frosting for cupcakes, and a large round tip. I think it may come with a fourth tip but i cannot recall what it is. Here's the link to the kit on the wilton site.

I hope that helps!

A very easy and economical way is to use a melon baller or scoop to remove the cake centre. then fill with the hole using a spoon, or use a large round wilton tube and piping bag.

I just use a lage plastic bottle, like you use for mustard or something. They are pretty long and have a good wide opening for filling the jar. Just turn it upside down, stick it in the cupcake, start to squeese, and slowly pull it out of the cake. I do this for the raspberry and lemon curd fillings.

I think it depends on what you buy I think, but most pie fillings you purchase are ready to use as is, and can also be cooked. Most of my friends like a little bit of lemon curd in the middle, plain as is, its kind of like cupcake meets jelly donut - yum! lol

Making lemon curd is really easy and it keeps well right in the squeeze container.
I take two lemons, zest them into a sauce pan, squeeze the juice out of both, add two eggs, 1 or 2 cups of sugar depending on how sweet you like it, cook it until thick. Sometimes I just use the yolk if I have been using the whites for merigune.

I found canned strawberry pie filling! I ran it through the food processor and it was just like the strawberry filling in a doughnut or something like that. I'll let you know how it goes inside a cupcake :)

you can just make simple syrup:
a cup of sugar and a cup of water (1:1) or you can add 1/2 cup more sugar if you like...
then boil it with the fresh strawberries... for best result you can use riped strawberries...
when the strawberries are already cooked then you can add cornstarch(mixed with 1/4 cup water)....
boil until thick, let it cool then strain to make it fine.... so when you put it in a squeezing bottle it will come out smoothly....
hope it helps! enjoy! =)

I just cut a small cone shape out of the top, fill the hole with jam/curd/ nutella then wedge the top of the cut out cone back in and frost over it to hide the join. this works fine.
