Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line cupcake pan with paper cupcake liners.
Add cake mix and soda to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, and beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Fill cupcake liners halfway with cake batter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until you can insert a toothpick, and it comes out clean.
Cool for 1 hour on a baking rack.
Snip the corner of a ziplock bag or the end of a piping bag and insert the frosting tip.
Fill a ziplock bag or piping bag with frosting.
Pipe frosting onto cupcakes by starting in the middle, swirling around the cupcake, then meeting back in the middle.
Top each cupcake with a root beer barrel candy.
Cut straws in half, then in half again (each straw will give you 4 mini straws), and insert a mini straw into each cupcake.
