This recipe is so versatile! If you don't care for raspberries substitute something else! Don't like the filling? Leave it out! They are so fun to make and they turn out gorgeous without too much effort! *I borrowed the buttercream recipe from the book Hello, Cupcake. Read more * See less

- Prep the bag and fill with buttercream. Insert tip into top of each cupcake and pipe a small amount of frosting into the middle.
