We made this for my Sammy's Birthday.
Root beer Float Cupcakes. Sounds weird, but they were good.
They all loved it!
I got the Root beer frosting from a friend's blog.

Cupcakes - Butter Cake Cake mix
Follow directions on the box and add 1 small box of vanilla instant pudding.
Bake as directed on box.
After cupcakes are cool, get a can of whipped cream. Insert whipping cream into the middle of cupcake.
Be careful not to fill too much, it will explode...okay more like burst out the sides and top.
Make Root beer frosting.

ROOT BEER FROSTING
Ingredients
½ cup of butter, softened
½ teaspoon of root beer concentrate
16 ounces of powdered sugar sifted
¼ cup of milk
DIRECTIONS
1. Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add root beer concentrate mix well.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar beating until well blended after each addition and frequently scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
3. Add milk, beat until light and fluffy. If frosting is too thick to spread, gradually beat in additional milk. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Re-whip before using.
To finish cupcakes:
Layer a good amount of frosting on top of cupcake.
Add a little bit more (or a lot) of whipping cream to the top.
And enjoy.
REMEMBER: it is whipped cream so refridgerate!!!!!
(I got the root beer flavoring at my Super Wal-mart.
Danielle said the Winco in Reno has it too.)
