I made these for a party - so I decided to try mini cupcakes. They came out perfect! I was so impressed how the flavor translated in such a small portion. Very balanced proportions and I was concerned that it wouldn't - each part is not very impressive prior to cooking/adding to the finished product - but the end result is perfect. The cream frosting is great - didn't miss the pricey mascarpone cheese. FYI - it says to only use a teaspoon of espresso liquid over cupcakes, but that was a good amount only for the mini cupcakes. I made 9 standard size cupcakes with the remainder of the batter (after making 24 minis) and I poured over more like 1-2 tablespoons of espresso liquid for the larger cupcakes. Oh and you may run out of frosting - I have - so be prepared for a second batch if needed (I used a piping gun so maybe that uses more than expected??). Made them for a wine tasting party and everyone raved about them!

Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, but since I've had to go on a gluten free diet I haven't been able to eat it. I was so excited when I opened my e-mail and saw that Betty Crocker had finally sponsored a gluten free contest, and that this recipe was one of the finalists. When I opened it to find that is uses a regular SuperMoist cake mix I was very disappointed. Do you know if it would be possible to substitute one of the gluten free yellow cake mixes instead? Also, if anyone is looking for an amazing gluten free recipe, my favorite is the gluten free chocolate and zucchinin snack cake that I got from the Betty Crocker website. Better and moister than many regular cakes I used to eat.

I loved these cupcakes but I did a couple changes. I didn't use the coffee with the espresso powder and corn syrup. Instead I used Kahula and drizzled 1 teaspoon on each cupcake. I also whipped my whipped cream, then whipped the cream cheese witht he powdered sugar and then combined them. It gets much fluffier this way. A delicious cupcake. Definitely a keeper.
