Will This Method Work For Filling Cupcakes?

In a Martha Stewart recipe, it says to freeze chocolate ganache in ice cube trays and place one frozen ganache square into the little cakes before baking, so it will be a molten center.
Can you do this with other things, like pastry cream or jam? What about if you wanted to put a candy center, like a cherry cordial? Should you freeze it first so it doesn't melt right off the bat?
I know there are other methods of filling but this one seems like kind of a convenient short cut if it works.
I'm not an expert but I suppose it would depend on what temperature each of the fillings gets to and what the melting properties of them were. It is much more scientific than it seems. But you could always try some out and see as long as you dont mind having some spectacular deisasters and things oozing out and sticking to your cake tins.#
Cream however, I think would be a big no no to cook within a cake
