A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. My new favorite!! Loved the raspberry filling, loved the icing. I wouldn't change a thing!!

Loved these, but the recipe for the frosting is WAY too sweet. After a bit of tweaking and adding some of the raspberry pie filling to the frosting I finally was able to make something that didn't kill you with sweetness.

Every time I try to make this recipe my pie filling falls to the bottom of the cupcake and gets stuck on the wrapper. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I mixed and matched a bit, used lemon cake mix and strawberry pie filling, it was AMAZING, didn't even need frosting!

I can't find raspberry filling, but it turns out good w/blueberry and blackberry.

Everyone loved the raspberry swirled cupcakes. I made them in a heart shapes for Valentine's Day. I added some of the raspberry pie filling to the frosting for a little taste and pink coloring. Next time I would modify the frosting and add cream cheese to it to tone down the sweetness a bit.

The cupcakes are delicious, and everyone loves the raspberry surprise when they bite into them. I thought the icing was too sweet, I would probably use a buttercream icing if I made them again, but they were still delicious!

I did not make the frosting because I was short on time. I just used the stuff out of the can but the cupcakes turned out excellent. I left the frosting off of some and they were all devoured. I made them for a potluck and everyone loved them!

I found raspberry pie filling in with the other pie fillings like cherry, apple etc. Not all stores carry it, it is a bit expensive. We all loved them

I also didn't hear of raspberry pie filling. Can it be replaced by raspberry jam? Maybe who submitted the recipe can answer this?

Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors and I know I'm going to enjoy these cupcakes but can someone please tell me where to get raspberry pie filling? Is this a specialty item or is it found in local grocery stores?
