GINGER-SPICE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Ginger-Spice Buttercream Frosting image

This frosting pairs very well with my gingerbread cupcakes. It's very easy to make and is great for decorating because it doesn't fall apart. Try this frosting on vanilla, chocolate, and maybe even orange cupcakes. I hope you enjoy it!
