  • We sift the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger, and mix in a bowl with the sugar.
  • In another bowl, we mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla and whisk a little with a whisk.
  • We cream the butter in the mixer at medium speed for 4 minutes, then add the sifted mixture and beat for another minute. We pour in the milk, eggs, and vanilla mixture until everything is integrated, then add the dried fruits and mix.
  • We preheat the oven to 180ºC.
  • We pour the mixture into a cupcake tray with liners. Fill 2/3 of the mold and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Once ready, let them rest for 5 minutes in the tray, then remove and let cool on a rack.
  • You can buy the fondant ready-made or prepare it with 100 grams of marshmallows melted in a double boiler; let it cool slightly and mix with 250 grams of sifted powdered sugar until a smooth paste forms.
  • We divide the fondant into several parts and add gel color according to the shades you desire.
  • Once the cupcake is cool, we proceed to decorate with fondant (snowman, Christmas tree, etc.).
