We are loving that cupcakes are so popular and are having a blast visiting bakeries that bake these treats and are really enjoying the super yummy cupcakes (I think my dentist is enjoying the visits I have been making lately too). So, in all true form that we love Everything Gingerbread….here is a tasty Martha Stewart recipe we found for you all for a spicy Gingerbread Cupcake and it looks so cute decorated with tiny Gingerbread men and Gingerbread boy sugared candies. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love cupcakes? Today, cupcakes are HUGE in popularity and gourmet cupcake shops are popping up all over. Since we love all things Gingerbread, this Gingerbread cupcake really “takes the cake”.  Recipe here!

This whole grain cake has no refined sugar but lots of flavor. Just because it is called Healthy and made with Whole Wheat, you may be surprised at how great it tastes. With winter still upon us, try this cake warm from the oven with some whipped cream. Uh… low fat whipped cream.
