    If anyone has used Sandra lee's reciepes should know that it's semi-home made. so if you use anything that is packaged, then you should follow the direction for that product on the box. Just and FYI!

    Maybe it was because of the cake mix I used, but it was very dense and tasted like it was missing something. The meringue's deflated too. I made the chocolate version because my store didn't have lemon. I dusted them with cocoa powder to hide the imperfections. They're just "ok".

    The cake was very sticky and gooey. I read the reviews before making this recipe; therefore I cooked the cupcakes for about 12 minutes but they still tasted gooey. I tried to pipe the meringue onto the cakes so they would look cute - it was difficult and very messy. I will try these again but bake them longer.

    I was super excited to try this recipe out! The idea of mixing cool whip to a cake mix is great. But I was dissappointed in the TASTE. It was soo NOT lemony, and I even added lemon extract to the cake batter, pudding, even the meringue! I really disliked the pudding, it was very bland. In the end I just ate one and scraped the meringue and pudding off and just ate the cake. The cake is super moist, though. It took me 10 min. instead of the instructed 8 min. to get them to set right because the first batch were gooey. I do reccommend trying to make a chocolate version and serve it up warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream I think that would taste much better. If I ever do make these again, I will use lemon curd (you can fing it by the jams, jellies section in the market instead of the instant pudding.

    Mine were gooey, and I went on and baked for 10 minutes. They were not the are cakes I was planning, but they ended up to be the BEST cupcakes I have ever made! So light and delicate - melt in your mouth. I will try this recipe again, but love the cupcakes!

    I'm gonna do a Chocolate version, with chocolate sauce in the center (dash of instant expresso and top with whip cream or ice cream ala Chili's Molten Cake.

    These cups are so versatile!!!

    Who knew what you would get when you mixed whipped topping and a cake mix??? Something quite delicous is the answer.

    I had the same experience as another viewer with the gooey bottom after I baked it for the specified time. I did not give up though! I put it back in the oven and then let it cool completely before preceeding. The result was outstanding.

    Bekie.....you are brilliant!! I just LOVE the trick with the cool whip and cake mix!! It doesn't get any easier than that!! I have made these in both Vanilla and Chocolate and I can't keep them on the plate, as they get eaten immediately. We are not big fans of meringue, however a little whip cream on top, with a dusting of chocolate powder is pretty perfect too. Thanks!!
