Anyone know how to make Liquor Cupcakes?

Do any of you know how to make liquor filled cupcakes? I am starting to get people asking if I make them but my trials have been unsuccessful. They turn out too gummy.

Far as I know you just stick a fine nozzle in a piping bag and fill with liquor of your choice! Then stick the nozzle into the centre of the cupcake and squeeze. But perhaps I'm not understanding...

Perhaps you are putting too much liquor in? Perhaps add fruit soaked in liquor

I've made a cake with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting before. So maybe you could make a simple buttercream and infuse it with liquor and then fill the center of the cupcake with that?

A friend of mine made Grand Marnier cupcakes a while back. She didn't put the liquor in the batter directly but waited until the cupcakes were halfway baked to take them out of the stove for a moment, stabbed into the center of the cakes with a straw then funnel just a taste of liquor into the dough--kind of like one of the poke cakes. Since the batter was already setting, the alcohol seemed to diffuse throughout the cake but pool at the center. I don't know what magic she used to make them taste so good (haha), but they were definitely boozy cupcakes.

@Lullabelle I'll dig out the recipe and post it as soon as I find it. Another way would be to maybe "brush" the liquor onto the cup cakes right as they come out of the oven so they can soak it up. A vanilla cupcake would work nice with Grand Marnier as it would bring out the organg-y flavor of it nicely I think. Then maybe top that off with a nice chocolate ganache and some orange zest. Now that would be a cupcake I would sink my teeth into.

I saw liquor and I thought of you, don't ask me why. Anyway I don't have experience in this area but @posiimage see if one my favourite social media sites can help you out. https://www.pinterest.com/explore/alcohol-infused-cupcakes/
