This was a huge hit. I have made these several times and everyone loves them. Make sure you use the foil cups not the paper ones. The lemon and raspberry are perfect together.

This was pretty easy to make and had delicious ingredients however, it was not a hit at our dinner party the other night. There were 6 kids and not one of them liked it, and only 2 adults even had a 2nd piece. Unfortunately, the rest of the Jell-O bites ended up in the trash because no one really liked them. I guess I won't be making them again even though I was one of the ones who thought they were yummy.

Everyone in my office just loved it. It's just the right size for a quick snack.

Very appealing looking. The pound cakes got soggy and only added strange taste. I piped the cream cheese topping like the picture, and I had so much leftover. With 24 bites, I should have made just half amount of topping.

I never could find the foil liners in the mini muffin size in my area. I had to use paper, and the presentation just wasn't the same.

Great!!!! Soaked cake in raspbery syrup before adding the jello. Also, used almond flavoring in cream cheese instead of whipped cream, and piped it onto top with tiny drizzle of raspberry all fruit for added flair. Everyone loved these mini bites.
