What makes these cupcakes 'Alice's Wonderland' themed?

The vibrant blue buttercream icing and the playful surprise of raspberry bits in the batter evoke the whimsical and colorful spirit of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen for the cupcake base?

Yes, the recipe suggests thawing frozen raspberries, implying fresh raspberries are perfectly suitable and can be beaten directly into the batter.

Why does the recipe suggest leaving bits of fruit in the batter?

Leaving small pieces of raspberry in the batter creates a delightful textural surprise when the cupcake is bitten into, enhancing the overall experience.

Why is it crucial for the cupcake to cool completely before icing?

The recipe explicitly states that the cupcake MUST cool, otherwise the buttercream icing will melt right off, ruining the decoration and texture.

How should I store leftover Alice's Wonderland Birthday Cupcakes?

Once cooled and iced, these cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

How to Prepare Alice’s Wonderland Birthday Cupcake [Vegan]

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/356ºF.
In a small mixing bowl, cream the sugar and vegan margarine together until you obtain a smooth paste. Add the four and again, mix it all together. Add the nondairy milk, flaxseed with water, and vanilla extract and mix again. Lastly, beat in the raspberries (if you are using frozen, thaw them beforehand). It’s alright to leave bits of fruit in the batter; that will create a nice surprise when the birthday girl/boy bites into her/his cupcake.
Spoon into a cupcake tin and bake for 25 minutes.
While your cupcake is baking, prepare the buttercream icing: with a whisk or electric mixer, beat the sugar and vegan margarine together until they form soft peaks. Add the blue colouring and beat again until the buttercream is an even blue colour.
When the cupcake has cooled (and it MUST cool, or else the icing will melt right off it), artistically decorated it with the blue buttercream icing (an icing bag will come in handy at this stage). Add a few chocolate sprinkles or other decorative shapes if you like.
