Cupcake Poll #22 - Where Have All The Raspberries Gone?

Last week raspberries went on sale. I guess they were trying to squeeze the last few raspberries into the store before the season ended, because those were the puniest looking berris I'd ever seen. I bought the only 2 containers that had good looking berries in them. I brought them home, froze them on a single layer on a baking sheet, and put them in a freezer bag (à la Alton Brown). Now it's time to use them! All three choices this week are recipes that contain raspberries. You will choose their fate!
<--- REMEMBER: Only votes in the poll on the left-hand sidebar will count. Comments are nice, but click one of those over there!
UPDATE: I'm making my dad's birthday cake today, so the poll has been extended to next Tuesday, Sept. 16!


This week's poll:
  • Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes:
    Chocolate cupcakes with raspberry jam swirled in, topped with chocolate raspberry frosting and a fresh raspberry!
  • Raspberry Buckle Cupcakes:
    Lemon cupcakes with a dollop of raspberry filling in the center, topped with a crumbly cookie dough topping!
  • Almond Raspberry Cream Cupcakes:
    Rich almond scented cupcakes sandwiching fresh raspberry cream!

Another vote for Raspberry Buckle. It seems like the most innovative of the bunch.

I would've voted for the raspberry buckle, but the cookie dough topping turned me off. I would've voted yes for a streusel, though!

I voted for almond raspberry instead.

Almond Raspberry Cream Cupcakes... they sound fantastic!

CB said...

I voted for Almond Raspberry Cream Cupcakes b/c that raspberry cream sounds delish! If it doesn't win, could you email me the recipe? ;)

Come on the Raspberry Buckle! We missed out on the Lemon and Blueberry Cupcakes by a whisker last week, so Raspberry & Lemon would suit me nicely!! :o)

Baking Housewife said...

Almond & Raspberry for me please! Shame the seasons go so quick, but i guess it is good they still exist in the US. In the UK you seem to be able to get stuff all year round and it never tastes as good out of season.

So anyways... can't wait to see the results xx

Kinda comforting to know its not just in England that they have ruined seasons! Remember going raspberry picking as a kid...amazing!
