This was delicious! Made it for my little girl's first birthday party and everyone loved it! I made it in a Winnie the Pooh pan and it turned out really good although there was too much batter for the pan. I frosted it with Recipe #130623 - it was a great combination! Thanks for the recipe!

I"m not leaving any stars to bring the rating down on this recipe due to the fact I had disasterous results. I don't know if it was the white chocolate I used which was the Nestle brand Tollhouse Premier white chcolate morsels. It never melted/blended completely in with the butter. The overall results were crumbly. I made these into cupcakes and making sure I sprayed the liners and around the top of the cupcake pan but they still stuck. The taste is alright, but I really think my chocolate must be the culprit to why these didn't turn out. The cinnamon was a nice touch which came thru nicely. I"m so sorry I messed up on this recipe Annacia. :-(

This case is amazing. I used this recipe to make cupcakes for my daughter's 2nd birthday. All the adults were asking for the recipe.

Wow this is so good! Instead of doing a cream cheese frosting (which I'm going to try next time I make it), I made a lemon fondant, with buttercream frosting underneath. It is SO delicious!! The only other change I made was I used french vanilla cake mix instead of white, for more vanilla flavor. Thanks so much for sharing!

Yummy cake and very easy. I was looking for something special and thought this sounded great. I made the cake exactly as written and for the first time tried my hand at mini-cakes. I used 4-inch springforms and it filled 4. It was just the two of us so I used 2 of the four took a few liberties with the filling and frosting and ended up with a little cake about 6 inches high with 4 layers. The filling was almost a ganache..whipping cream, white chocolate, white chocolate liquer and a little confectioners sugar to taste. MMMMM! Frosting was Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting (DH is not a cream cheese frosting fan) We were very pleased with the finished product (it was a great size for 2) and the best part is that I have another 2 mini-cakes in the freezer that can be pulled out and frosted for the next romantic dinner au deux.
