These pretty things are two gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese icing, from Miette Patisserie in San Francisco. They also make this same gingerbread in a lovely cake that serves 6-8 people. Even without the cream cheese icing, the gingerbread itself is rich with spices, not-too-sweet, amazingly moist, dark and full of molasses, and dense. It's heaven in a fluted paper cup; it makes the eyelashes flutter and the eyes ROLL BACK IN THEIR SOCKETS!
(Unfortunately, the cakes are too fresh and delicate to ship, but Miette does ship their wonderful macaroons, which are tiny, round, delicately-flavored things that just melt in your mouth. They're kind of crisp, kind of chewy, and very complex-tasting.)
