My rating isn't very fair because I only used the filling part of the recipe. I used boxed milk chocolate cupcakes and made a chocolate butter cream frosting. They were delicious!!

I made these cupcakes and they looked great. I hear they tasted great as well (I don't eat sweets, I just make them).

I used boxed cake mix to make the cupcakes and then made the filling based on the recipe. The filling was very easy to make.Frosted them with a can of frosting. They were yummy! Everyone that tried them liked them. I would definitely recommend trying these especially if you have a sweet tooth.

Made the cream filling part of this recipe twice this weekend and it was fantastic each time. The first was in some mini red velvet cupcakes for the 4th and the second was in a store bought chocolate cupcake mix for a birthday. Both times they got rave reviews. Makes a nice surprise in an otherwise simple dessert. Since I iced them, I just squirted it in the top, rather than through the liner like the recipe suggested.

Taste wise, these were average, but too cute when decorated! I had a hard time knowing when I had filled them with enough cream, so I had to randomly open some to check them. But that's my own lack of experience, not the recipe.

I only made the cream filling from this recipe, but it is 5 stars all the way! It is the best cream filling I have found for cupcakes. I have found it is better to inject the filling from the top of the cupcake as I use paper liners for my cupcakes. The frosting will cover up the injection hole. I used a pastry bag fitted with a frosting tip, insert directly into the top of the cupcake and squeeze gently to fill, and stop when you see the cupcake "expand".

I made these according to the recipe and they were a HUGE hit! Once cooled, I simply put the tip of the pastry bag in the top of the cup cake and squeezed until the top puffed up a little bit. Then I put icing on them. Everyone loved them and the cream filling was perfect inside. No need to cut a hole in the cup cake at all.

Easy recipe to make/follow, even for my 3-year-old to help! Halved, it yielded 15 cupcakes. I substituted pumpkin butter for 1/2 the oil, and used 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour with 1 c regular all-purpose. These came out SOOOOO yummy, and such a hit for my hubby's birthday dinner (his request was cupcakes!).

Fantastic! I made a couple of changes though I suppose it would still be great without the changes. I used Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa for the cupcakes and added about 2 tbsp of cheesecake pudding (dry mix) to the cream filling as NEgirl did. I also used a pastry bag and a #7 tip to pipe the cream filling in from the top, very easy. For the icing I used the Chocolate Ganache Icing from this site and used Frangelico in the icing instead of Brandy. These are the best cupcakes!

I thought these came out great! They were moist and the filling tasted great. They're just like a fresher version of snack cake the kind you buy at the supermarket.

HOLY MOLY,these are good, i cant believe i waited so long to do this recipe. The filling inside is delicous, but make sure you dont do it in a warm kitchen because the filling will get a little runny. I dusted the tops with powdered sugar to cover the little whole I made with my piping bag. They were soo gooood

I only made the Cream filling but it was Fantastic, I was hesitant to use shortening but glad that it came out so good! I also added Mint extract ( about 1 1/2 TSP) to half of the filling and mixed it until it was nice and smooth. I filled it from the top as well as frosted the filling on top and used it as icing. It gave it the flavour of a chocoalte mint cupcake and it tasted great.

Loved this recipe. Had been looking for a filled cupcake recipe for a long time and now I have a winner! The cupcake turned out perfect. Used the frosting suggested by OCEAN011 and decorated with leftover filling. UPDATE: Have made these several times since I first reviewed them and experimented with different fillings, just made the filling by adding a Tbsp or 2 of cheesecake pudding mix (dry) to the original recipe and whipping it...OMG...that is good...really thinned it out so had to add more powdered sugar. Also I have been just piping the filling into the top of the cupcake with a piping bag and small tip...that way you can leave the liner on and the hole at the top is covered with frosting.
