Yum. Love gingerbread and this one sounds great with the eggnot frosting. Great post and a high 5.


Love these gingerbreadcupcakes thanks


THESE LOOK AWESOME! My family loves gingerbread and eggnog, so these will be a hit. I love that the frosting is made like a traditional red velvet frosting, but with eggnog. Genius idea! I bet it is fantastic! I am saving and printing this one. Will definitely be trying them! - Natalie


Wow. This sounds delicious. I love finding something different to take to holiday gatherings!
