Following up with a couple notes after doing some research:

For novice bakers like myself: It would be helpful to add into the instructions which attachment to use on the mixer for each step. Experienced bakers already know which attachment to use for each step, but someone like myself who doesn’t bake often does not. I used the whisk attachment to mix the batter and I think that made too many air bubbles in the batter and caused it to fall. For me it would have been helpful for you to say “Using the paddle attachment, mix the batter….”. I see that there are pictures but as a personal chef I don’t have time to read the whole post. I scroll immediately to the recipe and use that.

I did not like the frosting (I did google at that point for which attachment to use so I used the paddle). It just tasted like powdered sugar :/ but maybe that’s just preference. I added a lot more vanilla and that helped some.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that!

Yes absolutely. In fact, you can find the gingerbread cake here: https://grandbaby-cakes.com/gingerbread-cake/

Whipped up a batch of these this afternoon and they do not disappoint! Turned out moist, fluffy and delicious; the best way to cure my sweet tooth, indeed!

Just came to look for this recipe so I can make these cupcakes again. They are amazing and so perfect for the holidays! Thank you.

What an amazing flavor this has!

Such beautiful cupcakes for the holidays! All those flavors sound amazing and I especially love the creamy vanilla and maple buttercream frosting.

I love anything ginger and cupcakes are great to serve at a gathering. Makes everything so much easier. Thanks!
