These capuchinos were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my capuchinos turned out really greasy. I think I might have added too much butter.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I had to make a few substitutions. I used almond milk instead of regular milk and vegan cheese instead of regular cheese. They turned out great!

These capuchinos are way too time-consuming to make. I spent hours in the kitchen and they weren't even worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my capuchinos didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. They were a little dry and the filling was too salty.

These capuchinos are a bit bland for my taste. I think they could use a little more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of Cuban food, but I really enjoyed these capuchinos. They're so light and fluffy, and the filling is very flavorful.

These capuchinos are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter dinner, and this is a great way to use it up.

The filling for these capuchinos is so versatile. I've tried them with different types of cheese, ham, and vegetables, and they're always delicious.

I love that these capuchinos can be made ahead of time and frozen. It's so convenient to be able to just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I followed the recipe exactly and my capuchinos turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the dough was soft and fluffy on the inside.

I've never had Cuban capuchinos before, but I'm definitely a fan now. They're so light and fluffy, and the filling is perfectly sweet and savory.
