Harry Potter Butterbeer Cupcakes with Butterbeer Frosting
If there is one flavor that represents Harry Potter, it is Butterbeer. It was the thing many of us dreamed of tasting before The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened. I have had so much fun experimenting with different Butterbeer flavors to find the absolutely perfect one. I spent many days perfecting my version of Frozen Butterbeer and now I have been working on frosting and cupcakes! These cupcakes are delicious and a perfect slice of the wizarding world.

Oh my, this looks so good. My daughter loves anything butterbeer, it gives her that Harry Potter feeling…
Oh my goodness these look so fun and tasty. My kids are still too small to understand Harry Potter but I’m hoping to share my love for the books with them. I’ll have to remember this.
Hello! I am making these for a baby shower. I am not really a baker so I did a trial run. The cake was delicious! The frosting was a bit too sweet . Should I just reduce the amount of powder sugar?
