What flavor of cake mix works best for this recipe?
For this particular recipe, you could use a Vanilla, White, or Yellow Cake mix. I like the look of Yellow Cake mix with this recipe, the most, but really any cake mix would work well.
If you are a huge chocolate lover, you could even use a chocolate or devils food cake mix, and use this recipe.
Could I use cook and serve pudding for this recipe, instead of instant?
For this recipe, we have only used it, making instant pudding. You could try making the cook and serve pudding, but you will want to be sure it cools completely, and you follow the directions on the box, very carefully.
We highly recommend instant, but we do think that cooke and serve would also work.

Thanks for being amazing!
These look awesome=I am making them for Thanksgiving dessert!
I have 2 questions: Can I make them a day ahead of time? How should they be stored? Well, 3. Do you have a trick for transporting them?
Thank a lot for sharing your recipe!
Good luck! I hope that they work out for Thanksgiving! :)
I whipped the pudding a tad longer to keep them from getting gooey and soggy.
Also, with no time to get a cupcake holder, 12 cupcakes fit perfectly in a 13x9 baking pan-perfect for transporting.
Thanks again for the recipe-it's a keeper!

I take a serving spoon, fill it with the ganache and pour it in the center of the cupcake. I'll use the spoon to slightly spread it around and let it cool. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you. I was wondering why this wasn't done in the first place to save the mess!
I am going to make another half a batch and take them to neighbors. I can use the ganache and cream filling recipe for other things too.
