I was concerned about the whipped cream frosting, bc I was having a dinner party and wanted to make them in advance.. I started looking into whipped cream stabilizers, etc. Then decided to just go for it. I frosted them and put them in fridge where they stayed, didn't break down at all, for over 3 hrs. ALSO** I highly recommend this- i went to my local italian bakery who sold me broken cannoli shells. I saved the bigger pieces and broke up the smaller ones into crumbs, and garnished the sides of the whipped cream frosting with them. I stuck the bigger pieces on top of the frosting for a nice garnish. The flavor of the shells really rounded out the cannoli experience. Everyone LOVED them!

I make TONES of cupcakes but i dont usually use recipies from the chefs on TV. I like to use cupcake wars recipies becaus the people on that show make cupcakes for a living unlike the chefs who have there own shows who coock everything from steak to brownies and everything in between. The only thing i dont like about cupcake wars recipies is that except for how to pipe on the frosting they really dont help you with decorations.:( The cupcakes were delicious and the cake it self was so moist! put the cream in the middle was a little runny. The frosting,however was great! i would definitly make these again but add a little more sugar to the filling!

These are Amazing cupcakes! They are very light and not to sweet or overpowering. The cannoli filling is light, especially if you get whole milk ricotta, the cake itself is tastes great and serves as a wonderful base for other cupcakes, and the whipped cream frosting is a great way to top it off.
I have made these cupcakes numerous times for school and parties and every time people are amazed at how good they are! I've actually turned it into a two-layer cake as well, with the ricotta in between!
Thank You!

These were wonderful. I bake for an Italian family and these got rave reviews. The cannoli filling was lighter than your usual cannoli filling which was great for an after dinner treat. The whipped topping was wonderfully light as well!
This is a great recipe for a light and yummy cupcake...thank you :

I just made the recipe and have a couple of things to say. Well to be honest I messed up while making the recipe, I accidentally added the sour cream after the flour and baking soda. I really didn't notice any difference, the cake was soft and moist, but tastes like a muffin to me. The filling tasted just like cannoli cream and I added 1/8 cup more powdered sugar and I whole teaspoon of vanilla. I then thought something was missing so I added one pinch of nutmeg, which really enhanced the flavors. As an overall review I would say these cupcakes lack prominent flavors and are just ok. I rate 3 stars.

I've read other people's reviews about the texture of the cupcakes being very dry. I bake cupcakes a lot and I consider myself a good cupcake baker. I've practiced to get here so I understand exactly what mistake people are making here.
If you don't whip up the eggs enough to incoperate enough air in that causes the cupcakes become somewhat like muffins. That's the secret to the nice soft cupcakes. This cupcake recipe is actually exactly the same one as I've aways used, which I had it written down from some cupcake cookbooks in the past. Trust me. it's a great cupcake recipe.

I followed the directions to a T and the cupcake texture is weird. I tried to pull a couple out of the wrapper and they were sticking to it and couldnt keep their shape. Te filling was ok (not too tasty but I've had worse :-

The cake had a weird consistency, kind of dry. The cannoli filling wasn't thick enough and was missing something. I think it needed cinnamon or a little spice to it. Overall, it was tasty but not great.

The cake was a bit dry, the cannoli filling was not sweet enough and seemed to lack the consistancy that I am used to with cannoli filling. I kept telling myself that something was missing but couldn't figure out what it was. I did add some nutmeg and cinnamon to mine which did help some, but I think it was the sweetness that was lacking. Otherwise, it was a great idea for a cupcake. Will have to tweek a little if I make then again.

I am your average cook/baker that likes to take yummy fun food to work for parties: I found these easy to make and followed the recipe exactly. The cake was a bit too dry for me. I found the cannoli filling to be not sweet enough. I will add more powdered sugar if I make them again. I would also make more whipped cream to top them. The flavor was good and my co-workers liked them.
