  1. Refrigerate until ready to eat? We could barely wait for them to cool enough to put the frosting on. These cupcakes are terrific. Makes only 10 (which is a good amount if you don't want 4 kids to "overdose"). They sounded good, but far better than I expected in reality! Highly recommended!
     
  2. I followed the recipe exactly. The taste was really good, but all the jam ended up on the bottom of the cupcake and when I removed the papers I lost most of the jam.
     
  3. These were easy to make and good. Everyone wondered how the jam got in the center : )
