Today I made some yummy homemade vanilla cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream frosting. I have literally been dying to try this recipe for several weeks.Today I finally had the time to prepare them. I found this yummy recipe on laurainthekitchen.com. They are so easy to make and delicious. Everyone will think you got them from a fancy bakery because they look so pretty. If you don’t like raspberries you could substitute blueberries or strawberries in this recipe. I chose to make the raspberry because I just love raspberries. I purchased some organic raspberry preserves to use in the frosting.  I didn’t have any vanilla extract so I used some Davinci gourmet vanilla syrup instead. These cupcakes are to die for. I hope you try this recipe.

Pipe buttercream with a large star tip in round circles on cupcakes. Top with fresh raspberries. Eat and enjoy.
