Cake #45 Gingerbread Cupcakes

An earlier post than normal this week, because my husband and I are taking a vacation to Salem, to do the whole witch hunt thing, which I am so excited for, especially after being "professionally developed" today at school- we both need to wind down. Lately I have been on a Holiday spirit kick- with almost all of my Christmas shopping completed already, (I know I'm sick) I felt like it was time to bring out the ginger and the cinnamon and the brown sugar and make some Gingerbread cupcakes. I actually prefer them to Gingerbread cookies because they are less bitter- most likely due to the larger amounts of butter. These cupcakes also called for flour, baking powder, eggs, vanilla, and of course candied ginger. I also made my own frosting of butter, powdered sugar and orange juice.

I figured I would let Evie tell you how they tasted:
