Charlotte HorsefaceOn Sunday I made some cupcakes and icing from scratch using a recipe from 1828. I used a hand-cranked mixer for over an hour to make the icing. 😣 They turned out well, but very gingery. If I make these again I’ll need to make some modifications. 🤔 #cupcakes #oldrecipe #baking #dessert
