Instruction

  • Bake cake mix according to instructions for 24 cupcakes.
  • Using a the end of a wooden spoon poke holes in the top of each cupcake. Wiggle the spoon a little bit to make each hole a little bigger than the diameter of the end of the spoon. You can also use a cupcake corer to do this.
  • Fill holes in cupcakes with raspberry sauce. Use enough sauce so you can spread a thin layer on top of the cupcakes. Let rest until completely cooled.
  • To make icing beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add butter and beat. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat again until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar to make icing thicker, or a little milk to make it thinner.
  • Pipe cream cheese icing on cupcakes.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs if desired.
  • Serve immediately or store leftovers in the refrigerator.
