CHERRY GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES
A sweet frosting with a hint of lemon complements these little spice cakes, each with a maraschino cherry in the center. They're one of my dad's favorite desserts and a sure way of getting him to come over for a cup of coffee. -Laura McAllister, Morganton, North Carolina
