​Gifting Ideas

Spiced gingerbread cupcakes with fluffy cream cheese frosting.
​A festive cupcake perfect for Christmas (so why not give as a gift?!)

It doesn’t really much more festive than these homemade gingerbread cupcakes! Cinnamon, ginger, mixed spice and nutmeg are all flavours I associate with Christmas and you can taste the combination of those spices in each bite of these festive cupcakes.

​I’ve revamped a classic sponge cupcake recipe by adding light brown sugar for a delicious caramel taste and festive spices for warmth. The frosting is my favourite cream cheese frosting recipe and it compliments the spiced cupcake perfectly with its amazing creamy texture and divine tangy flavour. The trick to getting the cream cheese frosting to the correct consistency is to whisk it until it holds stiff peaks, that way it has that fluffy texture we all love and can easily be piped onto your cupcakes!  

"Together the cupcake and frosting are the perfect Christmas combination, especially when decorated with the cutest Christmas-inspired sprinkles and cake decorations".

​To decorate the cupcakes I used these adorable Christmas Sugar Decorations and Winter Wonderland Christmas Sprinkles. They’re cute, festive and super fun. If cream cheese frosting isn’t your favourite, then you can swap it for one of Cake Angels frostings. I think the Gorgeous Chocolate Frosting or Zingy Lemon Frosting would work really well with the ginger cupcake. Gingerbread pretty much suits all kinds of frosting, so feel free to decorate these cupcakes with whatever frosting that takes your fancy.  

​
​These cupcakes really are the perfect gift at Christmas for those you know love a tasty and festive treat. Or why not gift your cupcakes as a cute little secret Santa present for someone at work? Sometimes it can be hard thinking of a present under £10 for a colleague you've barely spoken to before, but who wouldn't love these heavenly creations?! 

Cake Angels have made it easy to get creative in the kitchen and put your own personal touch on your bakes, so it's perfect as a heart-felt and thoughtful gift!

​There are so many sprinkles to choose from. Enhance the fudgey flavour with Cake Angel Zillionaire Sprinkles or channel your inner child at Christmas with Cake Angels Popping Candy Sprinkles. The popping sensation is fun while the variety of colours reminds me of cute little baubles on a tree - so cute! Or just up you chocolate game!
