    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.

    I found the best way to scoop out the center of a cupcake is the tool used to juice a whole lemon, they are sometimes given away in a bag of lemons. The end is serrated to cut through the lemon, it cuts through the cupcake perfectly. Perfect just like these cupcakes

    Nice change to the traditional cupcake. I followed the recipe, minus the whipped cream topping. The cupcake was great with just the filling. A ganache topping would probably be devine!

    These cup cakes are amazing. The only thing that I did differently is I used a whip cream stablizer in the whip cream topping.

    I made these cupcakes for my husbands birthday and he said they were the best cupcakes he's ever had! My family loved them too! The cake part has a nice tang due to the sour cream and the filling is delicious!! The only thing I changed was I pipped on chocolate ganache underneath the whipped cream! I will definitely make these again. :o

    this was delicious everyone loved it! my aunt said it was one of the best cupcakes she's ever had! i did use coffee icing. regular coffee made the icing a little too thin, so we used just a little bit of very concentrated instant coffee.

    These were not hard to make at all. I did not use the topping suggested here because when I mixed it, it just did not hold up and I had to trash it. I used a regular icing and flavored it with a hint of coffee. I also added a bit more powered sugar and vanilla to the cannoli filling to give it a sweeter taste because I didn't think it had much of a flavor. They were a huge hit with all of my coworkers and family!! Will definitely be making them again!
