The cut part is keep to use it as a cover. So you can fill the Cupcakes with whippes cream, with pudding or marmelade. This is up to you.

When you have filled you Cupcakes cover them with the cutted part. Then you can decorate your Cupcakes how you want. With Frosting, melted chocolate or Fondant.
