Cherry Cheesecake Stuffed Cupcakes

Ok, this is made at home but i can't call it from scratch. It's mostly made up of helpers which can be a blessing on a busy day. That doesn't mean that these are going to fail the taste test by any means, in fact, i think you'll find these cupcakes are a real hit. The frosting isn't included but just use your favorite vanilla frosting.
