Bombpop inspired cupcakes

Can any cupcake be more perfect for the 4th than a bomb pop inspired cupcake?  

 root beer chocolate cupcakes topped off with a white chocolate buttercream frosting (recipes coming soon).

Do you remember running after the ice cream truck to get one of these? The ice cold popsicle to quench your thrist after a brisk sprint to catch the ice cream man and sticky melted juice dripping down your arm till it reached your elbow?  I stained many a play outfit because of these popsicles (the outfits were most probably already stained from everything else we got into back then).

 To me, these are retro pops since no one under the age of 20 got the joke about making cupcakes look like bombpops.  They scarfed them down all the same and I caught a few adults quietly cherishing a cupcake.

    Mmmmmm, Bombpops. I always had a hard time choosing between the Bombpop or the foot shaped ice cream with a piece of bubble gum for the big toe.Since we live out in the country, it wasn't until last year that my kids got to stand at the window of an old beat up clunker van and order an over priced ice cream from a sweaty person…ah, memories!
