Ginger, cinnamon, and allspice provide great flavor to these easy-to-make gingerbread cupcakes. Mix the ingredients well, but be certain not to over mix. This will lend a tough texture to the cupcakes. It's also important to fill each muffin tin with the same amount of batter. We used an ice cream scoop to make sure that they were equal. You can make these cupcakes ahead and freeze them until ready to use. Looking for the perfect holiday dessert? Put these festive cupcakes on the menu.
