"Wonderful recipe! Truly the correct texture and taste of true gingerbread! I followed the recipe as stated and the results were just as expected - Tangy Gingerbread with yummy touch of sweetness from creamy icing, Negative reviews are comparing the recipe of a sugary sweet cake to gingerbread- Taking that into consideration, remember the term "cupcake" is the shape of the end result, not the flavor. I will definitely make these again each holiday :-)
