*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.I love harry potter. It was a childhood favorite of mine, and still is! I've read the books a couple of times and watched the movies so many times I can't even keep track. Have you been to the harry potter universe at orlando? I've been wanting to go there so badly to just and try all of the food. Especially a nice glass of butterbeer. But since I can't go I made these butterbeer cupcakes instead.I think that some people have different ideas of what butterbeer tastes like, but for me it's the basic butterscotch and cream soda combination. So these cupcakes have a cream soda cake that is filled with butterscotch! Go here to see a video of these cupcakes being made! Also check out my favorite cookie recipe that features harry and the gang!

Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One of my favorite things that I have many of are the BlueQ oven mitts. They aren't just really funny and a great statement piece for your kitchen, but they are great quality too!
