Quite nice; but for ours and our kids' taste; needed a bit more brown sugar and orange zest/juice. Considering the taste and complexity of flavours; though; quite a good recipe; will likely make it again (served it on vermacelli noodles with some added veggies (mushrooms, bell pepperss, carrots, celery, and onions.)) Would probably try it on steamed white rice next time; though. Thanks for the great base recipe! Work with it and adjust it to your own tastes...

How can someone rate a recipe if they've not followed it at all?!?! Using a boxed cake mix and packaged icing for the filling and frosting - how is that accurately making the recipe at all??? This recipe; as written; is devine. Wonderful; wonderful cream filling; works great as acing itself; even; or for using for filling pretty much any sort of cake/doughnut; etc. etc; very veratile recipe. The cupcake itself is a moist; rich; chocolate cake - someone compared them to hostess cakes - I'm initially from the USA; and while we don't have hostess cakes here; it is exactly as I remember them; only the filling is a bit better. The cupcakes are nearly foolproof; the filling is easy as; and trully; though it takes a bit of time to fill them; there are ways of making it easier; and trust me; it is well worth making this recipe. I piped the filling through the top and then iced the tops - covering the hole filling the cakes left. And you can use whatver icing you want!! Wonderful overall; well loved by family and neighbors; definitely a keeper!

Haven't even cooked this entirely yet; and I didn't allow it to sit for the 8 hours as mentioned; only did 2 hours in the freezer; but the dough is beautiful to work with; really easy; not sticky in the least; really seems foolproof so long as your yeast is working properly. And I rolled it out to about a 16-18 inch circle; just size wise to roll the crescents; seemed better; still cut out the 16 wedges as directed (just means for the 16-18 inch you get a few more rolls/rotations in each roll than you for the the 12); and the rose absolutely stunningly; are huge; and they've only just popper in the oven!! Done half with jsut the butter and half with garlic butter; and they smell and look devine!!
