Use a pastry brush to paint the surface of each baked cupcake, let it sit and soak, and then apply a second layer. You may want to skip the filling if you use a soaking syrup, since filling the cupcake requires you to cut out a sizeable chunk of the cupcake's insides and top.<br /><br />You could also replace either the whipped topping or cream filling with this recipe: 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup whipped cream, 3 tbsp powdered sugar (or more, depending on your desired consistency) and 1-2 tsp rum, all mixed until smooth and creamy enough to use.<br /> Jaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831413352248491652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80081090978710174.post-45884627589331593552013-02-13T23:28:49.031-08:002013-02-13T23:28:49.031-08:00I just noticed there is no rum in the recipe.
