The gingerbread cake Extravaganza

Here it is folks; my gingerbread cake making adventure. The results smelled and tasted fantastic! The whole point behind this baking was to use up the ginger, clove, and nutmeg spices I had in my pantry. Well when I decided to make cup cakes instead of a whole cake I discovered that I did not have any cup cake pans. Oops. So I went out to the store and bought two. And decided to buy all-spice. Which is was the recipe called for to begin with. So now I still have ginger, clove, and nutmeg. And on top of that I have to figure out how to use up the all-spice. Oh well. I'm sure it will be a great adventure. Any recipe ideas floating around out there would not be turned away.

*Sorry about the lack of pictures, but the blogger thing wasn't uploading pictures.*

Freshly bakes cup cakes.

The end product. They tasted as good as they smelled!

  1. oh yum! your cupcakes look awesome!

    a spicy recipe that I'm enjoying this fall is for a homemade creamy chai sort of tea:

    1 tin of condensed milk (sweetened)
    1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Blend all in a jar, shake well. Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks. To use, stir 2 tablespoons directly into a cup of strong hot black tea. Best enjoyed by the fire with a good book :-)
