A retroactive cupcake post, but too cute to pass up. Father's Day was the reason behind these cupcakes--my dad is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I could post pictures of the parties we have, but I might incriminate myself a bit (I dressed as Ron). I am not a Harry Potter-head, but I will indulge the obsession--lord knows people indulge my obsessions :) I found these Butterbeer Cupcakes from a blog online, and they came out perfectly!!
There is a lot of butterscotch and butter extract (who knew??) to make these buttery, moist and caramel-y. They were a hit among the family, and are a second runner up for my dad only to the Boston Cream Pie cupcakes I made later in the summer. Dad contributed the background decorations for the pictures!!
