I thought these cupcakes were really good. Instead of having a pineapple filling, I used strawberries instead. I chopped and mashed the strawberries so that it reduced better. It was a little juicy so I strained the strawberries with a little sauce and then froze the strawberry flavor liquid and will use it for a drizzle on another dessert sometime. The frosting didn't work out well for me at all. I used mascarpone instead of goat cheese so maybe I should have just followed the recipe step by step first, THEN make different decisions the second time around. The strawberries curdled the frosting and turned it to mush and I ended up throwing it away. I had some of the heavy whip cream leftover so I whipped that up and just topped the cupcakes off with that instead. It worked! The next time I make these cupcakes (they really were delicious I'll probably use real whip cream again anyway.

These cupcakes were very delicious. My friend and I made them for our co-workers birthday and everyone loved them. However, the filling recipe made way too much filling. Also, I used orange zest instead of lemon so it was not over powering with lemon. And the frosting could use a little sugar in my opinion. Not a whole lot, so that it balances out the sweetness of the cupcake. Plus the powdered suger helps to thicken the frosting. Also, I agree with the other review that you need to cook it longer. Just maybe 5min more or so.

I just finished making these. I made the pineapple filling first, and set it aside. Its pretty tasty, but a little to much lemon. I would lighten up on the zest a little bit, next time, It also made more than I needed, so I will use this as a relish for a ham later this week. The cupcake is good, but you WILL taste the wine, But if you read the recipe, I would expect to taste it! So if any body posts that the wine taste was to strong,,, well duh! But its good! I made about 40 cupcakes w/this and had to bake longer than the instructed time. I had to use frozen strawberries, as fresh, are really expensive this time of yr. Next time I will drain them better, as it kinda made the frosting a little to watery. But I will say that the goat cheese, whipped crm and the berries were very well balanced out. I give it a 4 star, cause its good, but not the best thing I have baked! But I will make these again.

I only made the pineapple filling for a separate cupcake recipe and used fresh pineapple, it was very simple to make, tasty and made my cupcakes even moister!
