Filling
In a saucepan bring water and raspberries to a boil, reduce and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain the seeds out, and return sauce to saucepan, add sugar, lemon juice and zest and simmer for another 5 minutes or so. Add cornstarch/water mixture and simmer and stir until it thickens. About 5 minutes more. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours to set.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line cupcake pan with liners.
Stir ingredients together until incorporated and then beat for 2 minutes. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool.
Frosting
Beat butter until creamy. Add half of the powdered sugar and mix in, add the rest and the lemonade, mix until incorporated and beat until fluffy. Add a couple of drops of yellow food coloring until desired color is achieved.
With a knife make a small hole in the middle of the cupcake,
Fill that hole with raspberry filling.
Pipe frosting onto cupcakes and top off with a fresh raspberry.
Store in the fridge.
