Cupcakes are one of my favorite things, so I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I saw Renees3's recipe. She starts with chocolate cupcakes, stuffs them with a white chocolate filling, ices them with a cream cheese frosting, and tops them off with a drizzling of seedless raspberry sauce. When Renees3 couldn't find an adequate cupcake recipe, she decided to adapt a bunch of different recipes to make her own customized cupcakes. To me, that's one of the true virtues of cooking: You can tailor any recipe to suit your needs, which can result in something even better! To see how her cupcakes came together, read more.

    Any particular reason why using white chocolate over chocolate? If I used melted semi-sweet chocolate with the cream cheese, would it still taste okay; just have a marbled look to it?

    personally I think the white chocolate is a nice contrast to the Chocolate of the cupcakes. It gives it a separate flavor so it's not just like a squishy chocolate cupcake, there's a different flavor in there. I think white chocolate and raspberry complement each other really well. Also, I don't think it would look marbled, it mixes pretty well, I think it would just be a light brown.
