My family loved these cupcakes! I used 1 TBSP, about 1.5 tsp of cream cheese, 3 cherries and topped with the remaining mix like someone suggested. They came out the best when you center the cream cheese on the cupcake. I also used fat-free cream cheese and light pie filling and they came out fine! However, I would suggest eating them with a fork. Also, keep them refridgerated and they last very well.
