Instructions

Make the cupcakes:

Cream butter and sugar first, then add eggs one by one. Then add remaining ingredients except for berries and beat well. Divide batter into three part and mix the strawberries into one, raspberries into another, and the vanilla extract into the other.
Layer the different flavor batters into each cupcake liner (raspberry on bottom, strawberry, then plain) until about 2/3 full. Bake for about 25 minutes. Cupcakes will be fairly moist even when cooked.
Let cool before frosting with the frosting below and decorating with sprinkles!

Make the frosting:

Place the white chocolate in a small glass bowl in the microwave oven on high power for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the oven and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until it is smooth. Set the chocolate aside to cool.
Place the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until well combined, 30 seconds. Stop the machine. Add the melted white chocolate and blend on low speed until just combined, 30 seconds. Add the vanilla extract and 2 cups of the confectioners’ sugar and blend on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, 30 seconds more. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the frosting is fluffy, 1 minute more, adding up to 1/2 cup more sugar if needed to make a spreadable consistency.
Use to frost cupcakes.
