Spicy Gingerbread Cupcakes

For several years our family has been building elaborate gingerbread houses.  There is a local contest we enter and the kids love this family tradition.  Each year a theme is released and we custom build our structure around that theme.  This year the theme is “Christmas Carols” which is much better than some of the past ideas. We’ve built homes for Disney Christmas, Tropical Christmas and Santa’s workshop.  None of these were particularly fun from my perspective because it limited our creativity. Other times we have done Christmas around the world and Christmas movies; both of which were really fun. 

Coconut Gluten Free Cupcakes

Nothing says 'I love you' like some homemade gluten free (GF) baking.  Huh?  What's that?  You've never heard this before??  Let's back up a little bit.  As food intolerances/allergies increases, so do the number of guests in your life who request these accomodations.  And so often they are left being offered fruit, ice cream or dreadful store bought GF chalky desserts. This is when you arrive armed with the tastiest GF cupcakes to save the day!
