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.

Add cupcake liners to a muffin tin. I like to use red, yellow, blue and green cupcake liners to represent the house colors. Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full. Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. While the cupcakes are cooking, making the Butterbeer frosting.

    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?
