Recipe Description
Butterbeer cupcakes. Butterbeer. I freaking love this stuff. I put together my cream soda and butterscotch and went to town on some cupcake making. When your son says,”MAMA, this frosting is AHHHMAZING” you know you did something right. My little guy is a natural charmer, but he never hands out those kinds of comments unless they are earned. You know 5-year-olds can be brutally honest.
Have you been over to see my Harry Potter’s butterbeer fudge? These cupcakes are equally amazing and even prettier if I do say so myself. I’m pretty proud of my butterbeer frosting. It has butterscotch chips AND cream soda. It has the best whipped consistency. It holds a nice shape when being piped. It is just perfection.
