My friend Rachael picked these out of my copy of Betty Crocker's Big Book of Cupcakes for me to make. So it's rather a pity that she wasn't around to try them... Next time hey, Rach? (We can say this was a practice run.)
Cream cheese icing ingredients, complete with cinnamon, ground ginger and mixed spice...
Most interesting icing ingredient: lemon rind. It works suprisingly well!
You can find the recipe for these cupcakes here, on Betty Crocker's website. But pay no attention to the photo - cream cheese icing does NOT sit that neat and firm in Queensland summer heat! It looked sloppy when I piped it with the open tip so I ended up just spreading it on.
Review from Jess:
Hint of lemon in the icing - brilliant. The base wasn't very gingery, but was still deliciously soft and moist.
Review from Bec:
Jess has said everything I had to say.
