How to Easily Fill Cupcakes with Frosting:
Poke hole in top of each cupcake with handle of wooden spoon before filling with frosting.
How to Make Chocolate Curls:
Warm a square of BAKER'S Baking Chocolate by microwaving it, unwrapped, on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the square steadily and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of square, allowing a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom of the square to make long, delicate curls. Use the same technique along the narrow side of the square to make short curls.
