Why I Love This Recipe
I wanted to make a big batch of fruity yet rich cupcakes for my mum's friends at work, so I picked up on a recipe of Raspberry White Chocolate Cupcakes and decided upon a raspberry cream cheese frosting for the top. I'd never tried any cream cheese frosting before, so had no idea how it was going to turn out! It was delicious and extremeley yummy, the only thing I was slightly disappointed with is that no matter how much icing sugar I added it would not stiffen, it still ended up slightly sloppy and after attempting to place it in the piping bag a lot of running around the kitchen was in order to stop it from going onto the floor! Lets just say a lot of tidying up was needed afterwards! All the same the cupcakes were gorgeous and the people at my mum's work loved them, one even said they would marry me if I baked for them haha, and if you are lucky and the white chocolate chips haven't melted you get chunks of white chocolate in your cake.
