In Uzbekistan, we loved these kind of recipes, as raspberries were abundant in certain months and cost only 50 dollar cents a kilogram. In Bangladesh unfortunately, there are no raspberries at all. We had to buy frozen ones in the special foreigner shop for 15 dollar a kilogram. And of course they were all mashed and frozen solid in a block, so you will have to do without the decoration. Still, sometimes you have to spoil yourself, especially when it is your birthday!
