Stir, while bringing to the boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Blend the arrowroot with a little water, add to the sauce and stir for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly. 4. Sieve sauce to remove the raspberry seeds. Cool. 5. Serve cupcakes with the sauce, cream and extra raspberries. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
