Same thing happened to the buttercream as to your meringue: a little on the soft side from the raspberry puree. I think it could be fixed in my case with more confectioner's sugar, but I wouldn't want to dilute the beautiful color or crystal clear raspberry taste. So, I used the fridge to help me keep the frosting on the cupcakes firm. Anyway, I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.

Fleur de Cocoa, one of my fave bakeries in Los Gatos, makes this incredible truffle called the "Julia Child.'' It's filled with ganache steeped with pink peppercorns. It's so wonderful.
