These cupcakes were a fabulous treat for both the eyes and the tastebuds! I used crushed pineapple and put the cherries on before I baked them, and they turned out beautifully.

I just finished serving these, and with the advice of other cooks, made them an incredible sucess. I used the pineapple cake mix and followed the box instructions on it, using water instead of the pineapple juice in the original recipe. I am glad we did this, otherwise it would have been too sweet. I used a whole marischino cherry on the top of each...stem in to create height. I also made a delicious black cherry sauce and drizzled it over them. Absolutely will make these over and over. Too easy and absolutely delicious. I also used the muffin pans instead, making the pineapple slices fit perfectly. Thank you for sharing this! YUM!

I made this recipe for my Mother's Day celebration today, and all the ladies loved it! It gets a little messy when you invert the cakes after baking, because the pineapple juice leaks. But the taste was delicious. It was light and not overly sweet. I put the cherries in the sugar mixture before baking, like I would with a regular sized upside down cake. I am definitely adding this to my recipe book.

These are extremely yummy and are a very "cute" dessert - great for entertaining. You don't need to trim the pineapple rings - just push them down so they slope slightly up the sides of the cup. You can also put the cherry in the middle before you pour the batter on top. It makes the whole recipe even easier!

this recipe was great it told what i would need and how much i would need for how many i want to make. the only thing i did that was differnt was i use crushed pineapple instead of useing the ring i found it was much easier and it was but i still like the recipe and i will use other ones as well

Very moist and yummy! I made as full size cupcakes as well instead of minis so I didn't have to cut the pineapple slices to fit. I also used the pineapple flavored cake mix and went ahead and baked my cherries on the cakes.

MMM...MMM...Delicious!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

the presentation was wonderful, however the taste was too sweet!, and plain. i made 12 jumbo cupcakes and 1 20 oz pineapple was enough. i also made this with pillsbury mix and only required 1 cup of juice/water. if you're using betty crocker, use 1 & 1/4 (just as the recipe calls for); for dh, i believe it's 1 & 1/3. then again... look for another recipe, and use the same cupcake concept. -- UPDATE (5 minutes later) -- i did a brief research on similar cakes and one of the recipe called for cinnamon in the batter. i've already baked the cake so i sprinkled the cinnamon on top. it was TASTY! so... keeping that in mind, i'll probably be making this again :).

I made these for a Christmas gathering they were so fast and easy to make. I served them with whipped cream on the side they were great.

These were wonderful. Turned out very nicely, my son couldn't stop eating them. I took these with other breads & cookies to my parents/in-laws for Christmas & everyone raved about them.

I tried this last year and it was a hit! Every last one was gone.

My family loved these cakes and they were the perfect single serving size. I also took the advice of others and used pineapple tidbits and did not have to cut any pineapple. They were so easy to make and looked great on the plate.

These were pretty good, but a little messy to make. When I tried inverting them, pineapple juice got all over the place. They were a huge hit though.

My mom and I used to make pineapple upside-down cake all the time when I was little. I needed to make a dessert for my brother's surprise party, and these minis were perfect. The only thing I did differently was to use the jumbo muffin tins (bake for 20 min), and to cook the cherry into the cake. I got rave reviews from everyone at that party. Thanks!!!!
