Flu shots don't work.
I first decided to make these cupcakes when I quickly came down with a horrible cold. My first instinct being, FIGHT IT! I immediately thought of ginger, honey and lemon. After making them and stealing one straight out of the pan it took me back to being a kid when Mum would buy us honey jumbles and I would eat the ones with the pink icing. It matched all my outfits.
