    i made these as full size cupcakes for a party, and they were such a hit, i wish i made a double batch! the mascarpone made the cake dense and creamy, and very cheesecake like. the intense strawberry flavor of the glaze against the creaminess of the cake is a perfect match! i will make these again and again!

    These little gems make a whole new meaning to the word "Cupcakes". I have made these so many times and each time they are a hit! FYI I have also made them regular size as well as with chocolate cake mix. What makes them stand alone is the mascarpone cheese. Who knew that you could put cheese in cupcakes?
    They even taste good plain. Oh, and I have also iced them with chocolate frosting. Pretty tastey too.

    These cupcakes were very tasty, but not as exciting as I had anticipated. The marscapone didn't add to the texture or taste of the cupcake, but they were still light and with the glaze, very fresh tasting.

    I am usually adept at following basic instructions, but I don't know if I missed a step? I usually enjoy Giada's recipes, but the cupcakes turned out very crumbly and dry although the flavor was okay. I also should have added more powdered sugar to the glaze, although it too had good flavor. All in all, I think the next time I buy mascarpone cheese it will be for her tiramisu recipe and I will just go back to making cupcakes with the regular old box mix.

    I made these for our 4th of July BBQ and they were a hit! The cupcakes were so moist and tasty and the icing was great. The icing recipe does make a lot, next time I will just make more cupcakes so I can use all of the icing! I added the strawberries to the powdered sugar a little at a time to prevent the icing from ending up too runny. I will definitely make these again. Thanks Giada!

    First recipe I tried from "Everyday Italian." Very easy and very inexpensive recipe that looks just as good as it tastes, although the mascarpone may not always be necessary.

    Cupcakes came out great!! very easy too make. Though I didn't care for the strawberry glaze...I made a lemon cream cheese frosting instead.

    I may never make another cupcake recipe ever again? A lot of people have tried these and everyone loves them. I didn't have mini muffin tins so i just put them on a baking sheet. The ones that I overfilled did kind of lean and they didn't ever look really pretty. I used 3 cups powdered sugar for the glaze and it seemed to be a good consistency, I think I may have used too many strawberries. I made these twice in one weekend, and may be making them again this week!
