    Could you also make this as a full cake! I noticed in the directions you have a Large T. Is that teaspoons or table spoons? Thanks for the information. I look forward to making the recipe.

    How did you get the icing to come out pretty like that? Mine came out smooth and runny like regular ganache. They taste amazing and look like mini Boston cream pies.

    The pastry cream seemed to sink into the cupcake. The flavor was good, but each bite seemed like very moist cake. I was expecting to taste the cake and pastry cream separately. Any idea why? Cake and cream were both at room temperature when I put the cream into the small holes (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch diameter) in cupcake. Would it help to chill the cupcake and pastry cream before filling? The chocolate ganache was very good and just the right consistency for piping after chilling for 2 hrs as directed in the recipe. I did add a splash of vanilla to the ganache while whisking.

      I chilled them after filling, did you eat them room temp? Maybe you would like them better cold? I suggest storing in fridge till you serve. Glad you liked the ganache!

    If these are stores in the fridge will the ganache harden ? If so, how long should it sit out at room temperature to be soft as frosting again?

      Hi! I would prob take them out about 30 mins prior to serving-depending how warm your kitchen is. I served mine right away and there were none left to store so this is my best guess.

    Gluten Free version: We loved the cupcake taste and texture when I made these with King Arthur Cup for Cup Gluten Free flour. I had been searching for a good cake recipe for my daughter and have tried many, but this was the best.

    I found the vanilla custard VERY TRICKY to make. I’ve baked for over 50 years and mine came out RUNNY.
    Luckily I knew how to fix it. I just reheated it and added a T. of cornstarch and it worked.

    What caused my filling to be runny? It was fine after I cooked it and added the butter and vanilla.

    It got soupy AFTER it cooled!
