Cup Cakes

Hey

When I had to cook this week, I decided to try and do my interpretation of a butterbeer cupcake. I first thought about doing them after having butterbeer at the Harry Potter Tour. Earlier in the week I was googling recipes that I could combine to make the cupcakes I wanted, and whilst doing that I found on someones blog their butterbeer cupcakes. They look very sickly but also yummy, I will probably end up trying that recipe at some point.

For my butterbeer cupcakes, I initially made butterscotch cupcakes but had to use Caramac as I couldn't find butterscotch chips.

I then made a cinnamon glaze, and drizzled over the top of the cooled cupcakes.

I then made up a vanilla and crushed shortbread butter cream to top them. I however used royal icing instead of icing sugar, so I could pipe the frosting how I wanted to, I kind of had to scoop it on top in the end. They still tasted good.


The finished product!!
