Assembly:

- If you don’t have a cupcake corer, use an apple corer instead.

Variations:

- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of raspberry cordial to the whipped cream cheese frosting.
- If you want to display the cupcakes on a table for a few hours, it is better to consider a buttercream like my ermine buttercream instead of whipped cream cheese which needs to stay refrigerated due to its ingredients.
