Blogger Food Snots was skeptical, but went with this root beer float cupcake recipe anyway and...
Once you put the frosting and the cupcake together something magical happens and the cupcakes are totally balanced. I would have liked just a tiny bit more vanilla flavor to come out in the frosting, so if I made these again I would have added a little extra vanilla at the end to bring my frosting to piping consistency and then done the vanilla ice cream as needed after. I think the recipe really would do better with 1 teaspoon of vanilla instead of just the half, but either way would be yummy. So, final verdict is, these were a total success! And a complete much try recipe!! Enjoy :)

Note from me: I'm not a big root beer fan but I love when a cupcake flavor recreates another flavor, and I think these look gorgeous; that candy on top is glistening!
