Our church Christmas party always includes these pretty cupcakes as my home-baked contribution. The holidays were the sweet inspiration for their cheery garnish of cherries and mint leaves.

Your not doing anything wrong, they are supposed to sink in the middle.

My foil muffin package says don't use in a muffin pan is anyone else? I am a good cook but not a great baker. My cakes started to sink in the middle a little-I took them out as soon as the tooth pick came out clean. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Can these be frozen with or without the cherry topping?

cakelover,I had thought of the nilla wafer bottom also,but that would kind of take away from the "cupcake " aspect and make it more of a "cake" sort of thing.It really works great just the way it is.

How do you think putting a nilla wafer in the bottom for a "crust" would work out?

can you use light cream cheese, this could be a big hit, and no flour means less carbs.. yummo

These are always a hit and I enjoy them without the cherry topping even more!
