These look cute!
I probs would leave the ginger out as I know no one in the fam would eat it otherwise.

These look so beautiful, you wouldn’t need to add any icing or decorations. I love the addition of Apple and the preserved ginger. Yum!

  Thanks mum, and you are right about the apple and the sweetness already in the muffin, there’s no need to add anything else to it
  Cheers, Missey

  Oh thank you, it was a set of 6 soft pliable silicon cups with matching solid saucers.
  You could find them in any house ware shops and there are different colors to choose from.
  They are quite popular with our girls and their friends. I love watching them having plenty of joyful playtime.

Always love finding recipes to use the abundance of apples we get from our trees. These sound lovely, will have to make some for my mum today.

  That sounds even better, with the freshly picked apples from your backyard. I hope your mum enjoys it. Missey

The idea is nice. I’m not a fan of caster sugar, white flours and preserved ginger but you could work your way around that with healthier ingredients.

  Totally agree with you mum, there are lots of healthier option to adapt
  I use honey instead of sugar, good quality spelt flour, and naked young ginger to avoid heavily processed material.
  Thanks for sharing the comments. Missey

  Oh yes the little girls were playing with their tea sets while mums gather round for an afternoon chat, that’s an impromptu act, works well for the occasion
