Ingredients:

• 1 sheet pastry paper
• 1 can blackberry filling (find a can that lists blackberries first; this means they have the highest percentage of actual backberries used in their filling)

Cooking Directions:

1. Thaw pastry paper.
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Cut each sheet into 9 squares (or square about 3-inches x 3 inches).  Use a rolling pin to make each piece just a bit thinner/wider (but not so thin that it falls apart when you manipulate it into the cupcake tin).
4. Place into cupcake tins and fill with blackberry filling.
5. Bake for appx 25 minutes, or until pastry sheet begins to brown.

OMG. <--Yes, that "OMG" is warranted.

I'm a huge mess maker when it comes to frosting cupcakes. I always rip the parchment bag or go into a frenzy trying to get the icing tip out of the bag and make a huge mess. To put a messy story short: I hate cleaning up.

...that is, until I stumbled onto an amazing tutorial video for how to get th frosting into and out of the bag without making a mess.

Thank you to Karen from Karen's Cookies.
