I think the worst time of the year to get a cold is the summer. Don't you? I feel like in the winter it's justified. It's cold and wet and perfect for cold season. The summer however is not. It's HOT! And the worst feeling when you're hot and miserable is to be sick and miserable and HOT! Berkeley as you can tell is experiencing a heatwave and I ofcourse am sick. So on one of the days I was home this week I made these Carrot-Ginger cupcakes.
I bought some crystallized ginger nuggets this past weekend at Whole Foods and although the back of the packaging has a recipe for ginger snaps, I figured that was too obvious so I looked around for another recipe.
My apologies for not writing more. I'd love to tell you about how easy this recipe was and that although the recipe yielded 2 dozen cupcakes, I couldn't justify making 2 dozen. Ken eats about one or two and is done. So I halved it and it turned out just fine. But I'm home sick yet again and so I'll just leave you with these pictures.
I made a creamcheese frosting for the top. I added just a sprinkling of the crystallized ginger nuggets to the top to show that there are some inside. My friend Patrick is trying to figure out the best way for me to send him some. He found this.
mouth....watering....must ...have!!!!
