Steamed Artichokes with Lemon Aioli
Root Beer Float Cupcakes
| By : |
This root beer cake with its vanilla buttercream mimics that classic float. With the first bite, you’ll be transformed back to the ’50s sitting in front of a soda jerk while swaying to doo-wop playing on the jukebox!
Are you more of a cola float kind of person? Use a cola instead of root beer. And if you prefer an orange Creamsicle, an orange soda can be substituted. The possibilities are nearly endless!
