So, are you up for the Challenge? I hope so! It’s gonna be great fun!
Now, how about a Cupcake? A Raspberry Cupcake!
These cupcakes are so simple, but very refreshing for these hot Summer days!
I started with a plain White Cupcake. You can try one of the recipes I have on the Cupcake Heaven page, or simply use a box mix and add some special ingredients to make it taste like you made it from scratch.
After the cupcakes have cooled, trim the top to make them level (of course, scraps are for snacking), then add a scoop Raspberry Sherbert, a little whipped topping and a few berries.
There you have it! Cool, Easy and Refreshing!
And on a side note, I thought I would let you know about the new coupon for Flirty Aprons! I love my Flirty Apron that I received back during the Mother’s Day Giveaway Extravaganza! Head on over! The Aprons are 10% off if you purchase $30 or more, use code CJ10.
Be sure to head on over and link up to Delicious Dishes (Tues a.m.) on It’s A Blog Party, my other blog, where I host a different linky party everyday! I’m starting a new, yummy giveaway too!
Now, it’s time to share your creations! Please be sure to link back to this post so your readers can enjoy all the entries and visit one or all of the participants.
Your cupcake looks scrumptious! I love the idea of skipping frosting and topping it with sherbert and whipped cream instead.
