These have a soft gingersnap crust, lemon cheesecake and delicious frosting...perfect for a spring dessert. I use recipe #422259, but don't roll them in cinn/sugar. I found this on cupcakeproject.com, she made the recipe for Paula Deen and it looks sooo good! Enjoy!

These cupcakes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some extra lemon zest next time.

The cheesecake filling was a bit too runny for my taste, but the cupcakes were still delicious.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my friends loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
