Vanilla and raspberry cupcakes are match made in heaven, lovely soft moist vanilla cupcake with a a delicate creamy raspberry frosting.
Sometimes the eyes need that extra kick, so I did actually add a little pink food colouring to the frosting to elaborate the raspberry feel to them.
Cupcakes are great party add-ons, as they are individual size portion all in it’s own little case.
I did make these for a girly birthday party and they seemed to have gone down well – maybe too well as an hour in and they had all disappeared with kids asking for more! Oops maybe I should have made 2 dozen!
