This Blackberry cupcake was from the food network and the link is below. We wanted to decorate the cupcakes with the Raspberry Coulis below drizzled over the cupcake and top with a fresh raspberry or we used frozen raspberries we previously frozen from our garden. We did use the Blackberry Cupcake recipe to make this cupcake.

Note: Blackberries are not very flavorful in the cupcake so you need a frosting that really stands out and make your cupcakes yummy.

Raspberry Coulis/Sauce

*1 tablespoon Sugar
*1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
*1/3 cup cold water
*1 1/2 cups Raspberries, fresh or frozen, smashed and strained from seeds

Combine the above ingredients in a sauce pan, cook on medium heat until thickened and strain through a fine mesh to remove and discard of seeds and solids. Place strained, cooled sauce in a pastry bag with small tip or pastry bottle and drizzle down frosted decorated Butter Cream frosted cupcake.

See Food Network for cupcake recipe and frosting.

Note: You could use any boxed cake and follow the directions on the box. The same goes for making a Cream Cheese Frosting, you can buy it pre-made but I prefer the Cream Cheese Frosting linked below.

Make cupcakes according to directions and cool. Then frost cupcakes with a decorating star tip and pastry bag and squeeze out the frosting onto the center of the cupcake making a large mound and then drizzle on the Raspberry Coulis and top with a raspberry.

Enjoy!
