gingerbread — Housewife's Whimsy

Wow! The last week and a half have been crazy for me! I had several wonderful Christmas themed posts that I never got around to posting because I was out of town and then I got sick. But I’m back home and life is WAY less crazy and I think I may be on the mend. So here’s to regularly posting again!!!I made these cupcakes for Alex’s Holiday potluck at work a few weeks ago. I really wanted a cupcake that embraced the flavors of the season and since I’d already done peppermint I decided gingerbread was the perfect idea. I paired these cupcakes with a very plain vanilla cream cheese frosting. I didn’t want the frosting to overwhelm the cupcakes in any way.These all received overwhelmingly positive reviews! Alex said he even had trouble getting one of these, and when he did it was the last one. These would be a fantastic idea for a Christmas, Holiday or New Year’s Eve party.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:147]Source: Adapted from Le Crème De La Crumb
