Cream Soda Cupcakes Recipe

My boys are all about cupcakes and soda, so this dessert recipe is really a no-brainer for me to make. I also love that I get to make my own buttercream frosting as well! When it comes time to frost the cupcakes, the boys are eager to jump in and help!
Do I need a stand mixer to make these cupcakes?
You’re going to be using the mixer on low speed and medium speed, so it’s good to have it handy. However, if you don’t have a mixer, it’s not a deal-breaker. You can mix by hand, you’ll just have to mix a little bit longer that way.
