Gingerbread Cupcakes with Gingerbread Man

It's holiday baking time and you need to get those Christmas treats ready! So, why not have some classic gingerbread this year? Better yet, how about all of those delicious flavors packed into a cupcake? These cupcakes are made with butter, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. They're a wonderful combination of everything Christmas. We topped these spicy cupcakes with our sweet vanilla buttercream, but added just a touch of lemon flavor.

You could top these cupcakes with chopped walnuts for some crunch, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a mini gingerbread cookie just like we did. They're delicious no matter what way you choose to serve them. Treat your guests to something special this Christmas and make these gingerbread cupcakes!

Let the baking begin!
