This recipe is fantastic! I have made these cupcakes a few times now, most recently as one of three kinds for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. These ones were all gone by the end of the night, and my aunt dubbed them the BEST CUPCAKES EVER! Only thing I did differently is fill the cups halfway, put in extra cream cheese mix, and put enough batter on top to mostly cover the cream cheese. Thank you so much for the recipe!

    These are easy to make and so good! I didn't put a glaze or frosting on them, but I thought that Ms_Bold's picture looked amazing! I doubled the cream cheese center. I made 26 cupcakes. I definitely will use this recipe again. Thank you for posting this recipe.

    This is by far one of the best cupcake recipes around. I made these for my son's preschool and he came home with an empty plate! I would like to try a variation on this with white or strawberry cake mix, strawberry cream cheese and white chocolate chips. Excellent baked product that is worth the extra step of filling, try it!

    These are amazing little treats. I prepared them for my hubby's birthday and stacked them in a pyramid on a pedestal cake plate and drizzled with Very Shiny Chocolate Glaze for a spectacular presentation. Honestly, they needed no frosting or glaze, though. I used a German Chocolate cake mix and semi-sweet chocolate bits. I used the same semi-sweet chocolate to create the glaze. Some of the cream cheese mixture did sink to the middle and create a filling for the cup cakes, and some stayed on top and marbled beautifully. I am not a baker and love any help that I can get. These cupcakes made me look like a pro and were a hit for the birthday.
