Root Beer Cupcakes

Root Beer Cupcakes are so flavorful. This cupcake is so good, you can add it to your gourmet cupcake recipes. They taste a bit like a bite of yellow cupcakes with a sip of root beer.

I like frosting them with choclate root beer frosting. I found a recipe on JustJENNrecipes, and than modified it a bit, to my liking. I think a chocolate dipped pretzel to the top makes a finished delicious baking with a happing ending.

You can make your own gourmet cupcake recipe. Be creative, you can cut out a circle in the middle and add a small scoop of ice cream, and make Root Beer Float Cupcakes. Or, add some cocoa, or chocolate chips, and make a Chocolate Root Beer Cupcake. Please send me your cupcake recipe. I would love to try it.
