The most festive part of these cupcakes – besides the ginger ale flavoring – are the colorful and festive liners that they are in and the matching pinwheel decorations placed on top. However, you don’t need fancy liners and toppers in order to make these tasty treats. The cupcake batter contains ground ginger, sour cream, ginger ale and a bunch of classic ingredients, like flour, butter and salt. The frosting contains more ground ginger and ginger ale, giving you a double-dose of sweetness!

Carrot & Pineapple Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
This Carrot Pineapple cupcake recipe is a god send for parents whose children are especially susceptible to sugar. Using agave instead of white processed sugar, these treats remain sweet but they are less likely to cause the “sugar high” that causes so many problems in children. The peeled and shredded carrots and pineapples add texture which some children have an aversion to, but pureeing these may alleviate this problem while preserving the flavor.

Lion and Lamb Cupcakes
It is amazing what you can do with marshmallows, frosting and candy. These lion and lamb cupcakes are two great examples of this. They start off looking like ordinary vanilla cupcakes covered in tasty frosting, although once the toppings are added, they are transformed into adorable treats that fit into the month of March perfectly: in like a lion and out like a lamb. Or is it the other way around?

Cupcake Fondue
Cupcake fondue is a sweet experience. For a bridal shower, an adult birthday party, or any other adult function these are a perfect celebration of chocolate and cake. Dense cake, such as pound cake, is the type for this treat so that you don’t lose your cake in the fondue pot. Additionally, mini cupcakes are better suited for the fondue pots than a full sized cupcake, unless you are the only partaker, then full size would work fine.

A Taste of Serenity Rose HIp Cupcakes
Rose hips may sound like a strange thing to put into cupcakes, but they result in a spice-cake-like treat. Combine the rose hip syrup with the other ingredients, in this case, cinnamon, almond butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla bean paste, sugar, flour and a few other things. Bake, and then top generously with rose hip buttercream (more rose hip syrup, powdered sugar, butter and salt) before serving. The rose hips make these the perfect treats to serve in springtime!
