I love your recipes. I make them less often now that I am not overweight. But that just makes them sooo much better when I finally do get to try them.

Thanks, sam <3 We have been making your recipe for what feels like a decade, now!!

I made these for my husband’s birthday since he loves Boston cream cake and doughnuts– they were a total hit! I had never made pastry cream before, but it turned out absolutely amazing thanks to your clear instructions. These were sooo delicious and I’ll definitely be making them again in the future. Thank you!

In reply to DANI. Dani, did you try them as minis? I was asked to make Boston Cream Cupcakes for a retirement party (the retirees favorite desert is Boston Cream Pie) and thought the smaller size would be better for a party serving lots of small bites.

In reply to Susan Platt. Hi Susan. We haven't tried it, so we can't say for sure how it would go. There is a chance that the filling could degrade in the freezer, but it's worth a try!

I am wanting to make these ahead of time for a bridal shower. Can they be frozen?

In reply to Krisha D Standifer. Hi Krisha! You would need to 1.5 the recipe for 36

I want to make 36, but I’m terrible at math, what would you recommend?

In reply to Sam.

So I did end up doing these in a mini version. Baked for 15 minutes, this recipe made about 106 mini cupcakes. It was tedious cutting all the tops of those little cupcakes though. Turned out great though.

In reply to DANI. Hi Dani! I'm not sure how making these mini would go. It could be tough to fill a small cupcake, but it's worth a shot.

Would these work as Mini cupcakes? If so, would you suggest any changes to the recipe?

In reply to Robin. Hi Robin! I think I already got your other comment about using the vanilla cake which is the better option here. :)

In reply to Sam. Thanks so much Sam!! Can't wait to see your beautiful baby girl in your videos. If you already have, I've just missed it!

In reply to Robin. Hi Robin! Yes you can make the vanilla cake and add the pastry cream in between layers and top with the chocolate ganache. :)

Sam. I just asked about this being made into a cake. I hadn’t looked through ALL of the comments and I thought I had. So I see that you told Ana that it would be best to go with your regular vanilla cake recipe. So we can do that and then put the pastry cream in between and do the chocolate ganache on top??

Sorry for inconvenience of two questions.

Sam, could this be used for a Boston Cream Pie CAKE????? Thanks

In reply to Marie b. Hi Marie! I haven't personally done it, but I would probably just use 3 egg yolks. :)
