I was inspired by the lemon raspberry Laffy Taffy, which is one of my favorite kinds of candy. So for this recipe, I made cupcakes that are a mix of lemon and raspberry, to get the same flavor. I originally was going to make lemon cupcakes, lemon icing and raspberry filling, but thanks to the YouTube channel FOOD & WINE, I was able to mix lemon and raspberry frosting to make a swirl.
I hope you leave me feedback so I can improve in the future.
