These cupcakes were a disaster! They were dry, crumbly, and the cream cheese topping was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as well as the ones in the picture. They were a bit dense and the cream cheese topping was too runny.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the batter next time.

I'm not a fan of Stilton cheese, but I thought I'd give these cupcakes a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The cheese flavor was not overpowering, and the pears and walnuts added a nice sweetness and crunch.
