pan cups.
In large bowl, cream sugar and butter.

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt,
ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and water.
Blend flour mixture into wet ingredients, one cup at a time.
Spoon approximately ¼ of batter into prepared muffin
cups.
Bake in preheated oven (375 degrees F) for 15-18 minutes

Remove cupcakes from pans to cooling rack, and cool
completely, about 30 minutes.
In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, grated lemon
peel, cinnamon and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed
until smooth.
Gradually beat in icing sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed
until smooth.
Beat in milk (not mentioned in ingredients but 1-2
teaspoons of milk needed), 1 tsp at a time, until
spreadable.
Spread or pipe a generous amount of frosting on top of
each cupcake; if piping, use a large round or star
decorating tip to get a nice big swirl.
Serve at once. Yum!
