Cheesecake in a Cupcake (aka, Flavor Bomb)

Cheesecake in a Cupcake (aka, Flavor Bomb)
What is better than a cheesecake?  How about a mini cheesecake covered in strawberries?  How about a mini cheesecake covered in strawberries then baked into a chocolate cupcake?! Now we are talking!  This cupcake is the food equivalent to the Russian Doll, only this is way more awesomer.

Most of us have seen the famous "Pumpkin Pie in a Cupcake"  This cupcake was inspired from that and turns out, is pretty simple to make. Think of all the  fun combinations to make the ultimate pie in a cupcake combo.

Made these today. One box mix made enough for 2 doz cupcakes plus batter left for 1-2. The cheesecake filling was enough for the same 24 plus a mini cheesecake on the side. They turned out great. Great idea! Here are my pics.

Theses look great. How many does this recipe make? (i.e. if I bought a box cake mix that makes x cupcakes, would it make more?) My goal is ~ 2 doz.

Your welcome. Where did you get the idea to do something this creative?

That sounds like a genius. These as well look to be the delicious, delicious creation of a genius.

Amazing recipe!

not to sound snark y, but most spices aren't more than 6 bucks for bigger size bottle. you can get a small bottle for about a $1.50. I think your idea is very interesting, and i might just try it out :) just out of curiosity, which spice is going for $15?

Saffron's pretty expensive.
Jun 2, 2011. 8:42 PMcconnor1 says:
Who uses saffron on here though really? seems like an odd comment to have made...the "doesnt require you to buy a $15 bottle of spice" one I mean. Since as far as i know no one makes/has made saffron cupcakes.

I love saffron and use it in rice, soups, and fish dishes a lot, although never in cupcakes! Last time I purchased it, it was $12 a spice jar and the grocery store only had one brand.

I definitely appreciate recipes that do not require purchasing a super-exotic spice, and this recipe sounds AMAZING! Thanks for posting this great idea.

Oh dear... you have to watch every little word you type!
Your comment was just fine. Most (obviously not all) understood your point.

Some people just have nothing better to do with their time.

Yep, once for ounce, saffron is the most expensive item in any grocery store.

I am thinking of using those Sara Lee Cheesecake bites... do you think it would matter if they are frozen or thawed? What about the strawberries frozen or thawed? Thanks an GREAT IDEA!
