Questions & Replies

  1. Why isn't the question about refrigeration answered? This is something it would be good to know..
     
  2. Hello, these look delicious and perfect for my son's 5th birthday party next week! I'm wondering if these are OK to leave out (in tupperware) overnight so I can make them in advance the night before. Thank you!

  1. My daughter made these for a Cupcake War type challenge at her elementary school carnival. She did not win 1st, but she came in 3rd. They were fantastic and stayed moist unlike some of the other cupcakes entered. The only thing that didn't really work is that I bought strawberry fruit spread for the filling which turned brown after she baked it-so I would recommend using a jam that will keep it's color after baking. She also made buttercream frosting to top them, and instead of coloring the frosting she used crushed freeze dried strawberries mixed in to it.. they worked and it tasted great.
     
  2. I love this site. Some of the best reipes I have gotten online. Does anyone know why my computer will not print recipes from Food. I get writers cramp everytime a recipe sends me here. HELP
     
  3. I did not have strawberries so I used blueberries and black berry combination. I just used a regular cake mix with the other ingredients. YUMMY so moist, It is a keeper
     
  4. Loved them!
     
  5. I thought these were super delicious!!! My older daughter didn't like them, but she doesn't like any cake/cupcakes/frosting, so that's not out of the norm. But the rest of us loved them. I served them with purple cream cheese frosting them decorated them with marshmallaw flowers as requested for my youger daughter's birthday treat for school! I will make these again! Can't wait to try the sour cream with Chocolate cake mix and raspberry preserves!!!
