Step 7
Use a cupcake corer or a knife to make a hole in the middle of each cupcake
Step 8

Pipe the buttercream onto each cupcake using a piping bag fitted with your chosen nozzle. Or spread on with a spoon
Step 11
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp, drizzle it over the buttercream
