Nothing smells better or more like winter than gingerbread. I absolutely love gingerbread everything from slime, bath bombs, sugar scrubs, cookies and cupcakes. Not going to lie the cupcakes are my favorite because I love all things dessert. I’ve discovered, much to the love of my children, gingerbread cupcakes make a great dessert and a even better breakfast dessert. Plus it leaves the entire house smelling delicious even before you bake them.

The recipe I use is such a easy recipe even I can’t ruin them. You can use cream cheese frosting or check out the easy homemade cinnamon cream cheese frosting recipe I have.
The Ingredients are just a few. You will need yellow cake mix, butter, brown sugar, molasses, ground ginger, and a few other spices

Once you have all your ingredients arranged it is just a few more steps until deliciousness. To make it simple put the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in a different one. Mix each separately then add the wet to the dry fold in gently, add water, and viola that’s it.
