I also could not pass up the raspberry chocolate ganache that is used when making a cake with this recipe so I made the ganache (using purreed frozen raspberries) and dipped the top of the cupcakes in it. I have yet to make the frosting. I am going to do the cream cheese because I have the ingredients. I'll send a photo. Oh, the fishmonger's mother is waiting for a taste test. I know she'll love them. I didn't tell her what was in them. I made a huge mess in the kitchen, but it was definitely worth it. I would definitely make these again. They will take the place of a birthday cake at my party tomorrow, so you'll have a few more critics to hear from.Diane Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690533234413117187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-42545843605559309742009-08-14T09:18:44.873-04:002009-08-14T09:18:44.873-04:00Dianne, we are together on the beet love.

Since the round you see here, I've experimented with a few other frostings, and I think we're actually going to use a buttercream rather than the usual cream cheese I put up. Buttercream holds up better and I think compliments the flavor of the cupcakes better...but both are very good! I brought them in to work for a taste test the other day and they were gone in minutes.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />EElspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909946927423140284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-90894049683904868682009-08-13T16:35:24.556-04:002009-08-13T16:35:24.556-04:00I am totally intrigued by this recipe.
