Well, not a total bust, but very disappointing. We envisioned yummy, root beer flavored cupcakes. What we got was sweet bread. Muffins that reminded us of eating light, fluffy cornbread with honey butter. The frosting was supposed to be root beer frosting, but had poor directions. The instructions were to use a "vanilla frosting mix" with a cup of root beer. What the french toast is vanilla frosting mix? The frosting was a complete nightmare--a total waste of powdered sugar. We tried powdered sugar and the root beer, but the proportions were so off. So, no cupcake deliveries. We've enjoyed a few of them for the sweet flavor. No repeat on this recipe. *GONG*

Bubbly froth...I think the yeast was what was gleaned from the root beer, not the flavor.
Smooth batter very much like bread dough.
Into the oven...
...and out.
Pretty and sweet, but not worthy of delivery. Too bad.

bummer. The general idea is pretty fun with the root beer and all! But apparently the cupcake recipe book should be called the muffin recipe book. Better luck next week?? :)
They still look yummy. I'm living through pictures.
