or click the button below to enlarge all text
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4 and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake cases.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the eggs one by one mixing after each one.
- Sift together the flour and ground ginger and carefully fold into the mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are approx. ½ full. Then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool.
- To make the buttercream mix together the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy, then fill a piping bag and pipe swirls of buttercream onto the top of each cooled cake.
- Mix together some white and chocolate ready to roll icing until you get a gingerbread colour, then roll this out onto a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar until it is about 3-4mm thick. Using a gingerbread man cutter cut out the shapes and leave to one side for about 20 minutes to firm up. You could decorate each gingerbread man with a red bow tie and some buttons.
- Carefully place the gingerbread men onto the top of each cupcake and serve
