These cupcakes were just okay. They weren't as moist as I expected and the pineapple flavor was a bit bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these cupcakes were a complete disaster. They were burnt on the bottom and raw in the middle.

I've tried many pineapple upside-down cupcake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are incredibly moist and flavorful, and the pineapple and cherries are the perfect topping.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out moist and fluffy.
