We all know the Achilles heel in my blog concept by now: cookbooks from Baked in Red Hook (Baked Explorations and Baked: New Frontiers in Baking). So, without further ado, Root Beer Cupcakes, adapted from the Baked recipe for Root Beer Bundt Cake.
PS – More food porn to come soon from my travels in LA this weekend!
PPS – The candies are Haribo Cola Bottles. I <3 gummies: Haribo Peaches were largely responsible for my middle school chubby days…
you had me at rootbeer! 🙂
I keep wondering if this would work with other sodas…I have a Cube Libre brownie recipe I might adapt…
Root Beer cupcakes! That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I love the presentation.
When I was younger, orange soda and Mountain Dew were always my favorite, but now the only one I drink is root beer. I just love the earthiness of it; I bet it’s delicious with chocolate.
How fun are these! I love the little root beer bottles on the top. I must say root beer cupcakes are soemthing I haven’t tried before, but know now that I need to!
Oh my! These look deee-licious. I craved root beer when pregnant with each of my kids.
I love the addition of the little gummy (I love gummies too!) I should make these for my dad for his birthday, he’s a huge rootbeer fan.
So, if I ate these with a big scoop of ice cream, would that constitute a float? 😀
Actually, Tiffany, the original bundt cake recipe suggests serving ice cream on the side…Float away! 🙂
So cute! I make a root beer float whoopie pie for the bakery…people usually look at me like I grew another head when I tell them what it is! Great recipe, love the gummies!
What a fun idea! My husband would probably eat every single one of these as he is a big fan of root beer.
Those cola bottles take the cake! Haha! Sorry. I’m not funny. But your cupcakes are awesome!
I just got one of the Baked books for Christmas! I’m so excited to get into it 🙂 These cupcakes sound delicious! I love those little gummies too
What a neat cupcake. Those cola bottles take me back…I haven’t had one in forever. 😉
Love, obvi.
OMG I love those little coke bottle gummies!!!
these sound (and look) great! the Baked books have been on my wishlist for a while now, but since i just got the Bon Appetit’s Desserts cookbook for xmas, it will probably keep me busy for a looong time.
Great cakes! Cup cakes that is! And congratulations on making the Top 9 on Food Buzz.
Adorable! Cute idea to decorate with gummies! 🙂
Awesome! I too am obsessed with Haribo gummies…I remember buying them by the pound at the candy shop in my neighborhood mall…
Ooo… I’m loving the cupcake recipe. Thanks for sharing.

These sound awesome! My brother loves root beer and this would be the perfect cupcake for his birthday. Also, I love coca cola gummies! I wonder if they make root beer gummies?

Love it! Great with a twist!
Love this.I was thinking small scoops of vanilla ice cream on these would make like a root beer float
