Wilton is a well known baking brand. When I started looking at the name of the cooking pans that I have I realized, I have a lot of Wilton cupcake holders and pans in my house. We eve purchased two new ones this Easter. One Silicone pan Before Easter
and another one on an after clearance Easter sale. The after Easter pan made these:
We have been having a cupcake extravaganza at our house since Easter thanks to Wilton. Wilton sent us a Cupcake package from their cupcake shop. Including the following products:
Can you see them all there, our hostess Zoe is happy to walk you through them one by one. First we have two different kinds of sprinkles. Colored Chocolate Chip sprinkles and little stars and cars. Then we have cupcake liners and cupcake accessories like toothpick decorations.
Then we have the cupcake stand you can see it empty and with cupcakes below.
Now lets go back to the big picture, you can see in this image the candy car decorations and the cupcake book. 
The Cupcake Fun catalogue is a gold mine of information, tips and tools on how to make your own masterpiece cupcakes. There are a ton of unique recipes to choose from and instructions on how to ice cakes and cupcakes with the greatest of ease. They make many of the most elegant and decadent cupcakes look easy. In fact, this was our first time to make cream filled cupcakes.
Here is more on what we did:
we mixed up the cake mix
we filled the cupcake liners
We let them cool on a wire rack
we filled them with cream
we decorated them and at them
My husband is the big dessert king in our house. He is the baker and I am the eater. I love his cooking. He was quite inspired by the recipes and the decorations. He made Key Lime Cupcakes, with vanilla pudding/custard filling. Both recipes were out of the Cupcake fun book.

I know nothing about cooking or baking other than how to make stuff out of a box (ok maybe a little more than that). I learned how to make icing which is nice because I always had to ask others on facebook or twitter how to make it

Learned how to make apple cupcakes. My husband will love those.
I learned from their blog that you can use Stevia as a sugar substitute. I’ve wanted to check that out since I have a few family members who are diabetic.

I learned about doing a crumb coat on your cake first. I’d heard the term but didn’t know what it meant – now I do! No more chocolate cake crumbs in my white cream icing! WOOT WOOT

I learned a recipe for lemon filling
I learned that humidity, temperature, ingredients and equipment can all affect icing consistency.
Crumb Coating
A crumb coat is the difference between a perfectly iced cake and one that is, well, “crummy.”

I looked at the decorating ideas since this is my biggest problem; under the directions for using a decorating bag is this great hint: Make sure you release any air trapped in bag by squeezing some of the icing out of the tip into the bowl. This is called “burping” the bag
I love to bake (and even when things don’t go like I thought they would, baked goods still taste great.
I learned that liquid food coloring doesn’t allow the control that you get with powders or creams.
