Gingerbread Cupcakes
5
Tigerlily
"These fast and easy cupcakes are great with ginger frosting or a can of buttercream, and are very easy to decorate. If you're an entertainer, these cupcakes are great for special occasions, and can be adorned with candy and other treats to match a holiday. I used these cupcakes for Christmas and they were delicious!!! Try them with a warm cup of milk or some coffee. Anything you can make with gingerbread is better with gingerbread cupcakes."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper muffin liners.

Pipe the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
