  Absolutely yummie, ask any of my colleagues! Easy enough to make and they look so lovely. Added a single raspberry on top of each cupcake as a finishing touch.

  Thought these were gorgeous, will definitely be making again and again! Didn't have enough raspberries left to make a good coulis, but used what i had and added pink food colour to the icing sugar to make it lively and colourful.

  I followed the recipe exactly and they were delicious. Took the tin around to the in-laws and everyone thought they were fantastic, reckoned I could sell them :-) Three year old daughter decorated them with smarties and chocolate buttons which is her favourite activity of all time!

  Really lovely cupcakes. Used 50g of ground almonds as didn't have coconut. Added strawberry puree instead of raspberry to frosting. Will definitely be making these again!

  I made a half quantity today and they were lovely! I found half of the recipe made 9 fairy cake sized cakes (which took about 20 minutes to cook, give or take a couple of minutes). I made them with the home made coulis which I was a bit wary of at first because it was quite strong but once added with the icing sugar and the butter it was lovely. Will defintiely be making the full quantity next time

  I made these for my husband to take to work as part of a jubilee tea party. They were brilliantly easy and delicious. Trouble was, I decorated them with some left over raspberries and they looked rather like part of the female anatomy... http://recipe-junkie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/nipple-cakes-no-rasberry-and-coconut.html

  When I first took these out of the oven, I thought they may have been undercooked as the bottoms felt quite soggy. However, it was because of the raspberries. Lovely, fresh tasting cakes and the raspberry topping was very light. If keeping these for a few days, I would store in a sealed container in the fridge as I think the raspberry filling would go mouldy if not refrigerated.

  Absolutely delicious! I just added fresh raspberries to the butter and icing sugar and whisked it up and worked perfectly.

  I didn't have any raspberries, so used raspberry jam instead - still tasted amazing! Look good too :D

  cake itself was really nice and easy to make, but I think the buttercream is way to sweet. I made a really nice raspberry coulis using a recipe of this site, but when making the buttercream I was already thinking that the amount of sugar is just to much. I used 200 gr and that was already ridiculously sweet and the quantity of buttercream is also way to much. Next time I think I'll make a buttercream just using the coulis, less butter and add extra sugar if needed. Also I used frozen raspberries and that worked out great for the cake

  Really light and delicious and surprisingly easy to make. They went down a treat with family and friends who were asking me to send them the recipe afterwards. I used a handful of fresh raspberries instead of coulis for the icing although next time I may use less icing sugar.

  Lovely! I didn't actually add the raspberries, instead I put jam in the middle and also flavoured with almond extract instead of vanilla. I wanted a sort of Bakewell tart taste and they turned out very well!

  I also would recommend adding 100gm of dark chocolate and 250gm of cherries instead of the raspberries and dust with icing sugar. An alernative just as good as the raspberries! Delicious!!!
