Calling all Harry Potter fans!!

What a wonderful week! Being off, I have cleaned, exercised, school shopped for Brody, played board games & watched movies(Harry Potter being one of them!) I always wished that I could have a glass of butter beer like the kids do. I imagine it being the best drink ever, like a buttery cream soda. For those who do not watch
Harry Potter, it doesn't contain beer. So there are recipes for butter beer, but I didn't have the correct ingredients. I refuse to put makeup on today. Plan B. Butter beer cupcakes! I had to improvise on the ingredients. It called for buttermilk, I googled a substitute. Milk & lemon juice. Who knew? Also, I had no cream soda. Lewis gave me the idea of just using one of my sodas. Probably would have turned out sweeter with the cream soda. This recipe is a lot more complex. I only did the cupcakes. It shows how to make butterscotch filling & ganache. Also, for home made icing. I had some butter cream Betty Crocker. We just stuck with cupcakes & Betty Crocker today. The next time I make these, I will try the whole thing. They are delicious. The cupcakes are more buttery than sweet & that mixed with the frosting is heavenly. I tried to get Brody to pretend to be Harry & I was Hermione as we ate, but he refused to be anything but Woody. I enjoy speaking with an English accent, so I think I will continue without him.
