Excellent. Very different from a typical cupcake -- a bit more sophisticated. I use pie filling, which keeps it from being overly sweet, and a buttercream frosting. I always get rave reviews when I make these.

I made these with lemon cake mix and raspberry jam. I planned to frost them with lemon cream cheese frosting. After reading all the reviews, I was eager to try them. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the outcome. The crust was soggy and they just didn't taste good. I did not bother to frost them.

These were GREAT! I wanted them to be bite-sized, so I used mini-muffin tins... and since I only had 2 tins (made 48 mini chesscakes), I still had enough leftover ingredients to make 4 regular-sized chesscakes. I used raspberry pie filling instead of raspberry jam and it worked great. I can't wait to experiment and make different flavors next time! I served these for a party and they were a hit.

Turned out more pretty than I anticipated. Taste OK, not really like the top part (not very moist & fluffy like Angel cake), next time I will try yellow mix or other butter cake recipe & maybe strawberry preserve)

I wanted to try this recipe because many of my 23 grandchildren have been asking me to teach them to cook. So I made a "trial" batch alone first. Mine came out perfect with spice cake and apricot filling. Because pie crust by scratch can be challenging, I decided to use refrigerated pie dough that you roll out so their first attempts would be easier. I had five of the girls try theirs first and then four of the boys, each choosing flavor options They all came out perfect and each had a great time. I think my favorite combination was the chocolate cake with hot fudge filling and buttered toasted nuts on top. This was so easy to make and scrumptious that all I had to really do was sit back and wait for my tastes of each :o)

Absolutely sinfully delish! I had some trouble with the crust, but I've never rocked the pie thing. Agree with another post to keep the dough not too thin. I made it with Lemon Cake and canned Raspberries....great combo of snarky flavor! The best ones were the mini-muffins, bite sized for easy handling.

These cupcakes turned out great! They were a hit with my entire family. With the pie crust and the cake mix, you get the best of both worlds. I didn't frost them in any way, and personally I thought they were best like that. I used rasberry preserves, but I would certainly like to try other fruits. Also, the pie crust is a sturdy base, keeping the filling from falling out, just be sure to make it thick enough! This recipe was simple and delicious.

I think that these are awesome and I am having fun dreaming up different variations. For example, today I used canned apple pie filling (I pulsed it in my food processor a couple of times to make small apple pieces) and spice cake mix. Then before baking, I topped them with a "french apple pie" topping consisting of 1 cup flour, 1 T cinnamon, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter and a handful of chopped pecans (I had a lot left over, I just froze it for later use). Baked them up, cooled them, and dusted them with powdered sugar. Now I have French Apple Pie-Cakes! Yummy!

I loved these...and loved making them. It is much easier than it looks. I also tried orange marmalade and it was fantastic. To know the difference between each of the cakes I put either a little orange zest or raspberry colored crystals on the top right after taking them out of the oven. Everyone enjoyed!

I made these for a graduation party, and they flew off the dessert table. The chocolate cake/raspberry/ganache version was the first to go, however I preferred the white cake/strawberry/cr.cheese frosting variety myself. This is a great recipe with many possibilities! Have fun with it!

Made this for a potluck, at work. None, leftover. It was a hit. I had used 2 different type of preserves, and topped with frosting. I didin't have a round cookie cutter, so I just used one of my drinking cup, that did the job. Thank you, adding this one to my recipe bool.
