Cream-Filled Valentine Cupcakes

My sister served cream-filled cupcakes at her wedding reception and I thought they were really good! Heather wanted to make cupcakes this week, so we gave the cream-filled version a try.

1 devil's food cake mix
2 tsp. hot water
1/4 tsp. salt
1 (7 oz. jar) marshmallow creme
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. powdered sugar1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Prepare and bake cupcakes according to package directions.
Dissolve salt in hot water and set aside to cool. Beat marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Stir in salt mixture. Use a Bismark 232 tip for inserting the creme and a Star 22 tip for the frosting.
