Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

If you can't bake all the cupcakes at once, store remaining batter in refrigerator between batches and bake up as quickly as possible so cupcakes are light and fluffy.

Fixed these for Easter dinner, everyone loved them, first time I had ever fixed cupcakes from Angel food cake mix. Followed the recipe exactly and they were great.

I made this to take to work and it did not turn out well. I am not the best cook, but what I found was that the pineapple mixture was too heavy for the angel food and it sunk. Also, spray Pam on the cupcake liners, because my angel food stuck to the paper really bad, and where the cake came up over the liners was stuck. The taste was ok, but it was too hard to eat. It was like little pieces of angel food (after you pried it from the paper liners), with blobs of pineapple stuff.

I made this for my hubby this Valentine's Day but I used strawberry cupcakes instead of angel food.

Always a hit. One of our friends asks for these every time we do dinner!

A huge hit at my BUNCO parties and cookouts, I have found the icing mixture stays firm longer without adding the fruit garnishment on top. Also, do not make the topping the night before, it will not set up correctly.

It was a tasty idea, but the angel food is too soft to use as a cupcake. Eating it presented problems.

Awesome! A definite crowd favorite. Easy to make and much more light/healthy feeling than heavy cupcakes. Everyone really loved them.

I made this recipe once awhile ago and it turned out great! Just tried it again and it was a complete flop because of the cake sticking COMPLETELY to the paper liners. It was awful and I threw them ALL out. :( I am thinking the first time I must've skipped using the liners. Careful what you use!!!

very simple and very tasty. i made half the batter into cupcakes and the second half into a cake since i was only making them for a small group. i skipped the berries this time because i did not have them on hand, but it didnt make any difference to me. ill definitely be making them again!
