I too love rhubarb, and if I weren't stuck preparing for my qualifying exam next week I'd rush out to the store right now and buy some rhubarb and make these. I've never had the rhubarb and ginger combination (in my house we usually just make rhubarb pie straight up -- none of that strawberry/rhubarb nonsense either!), but it's something I've been wanting to try. These cupcakes are definitely going to the top of things-to-make-when-I-can-crawl-out-of-my-hole-and-back-into-the-kitchen list.

Hi Garrett,

This morning I wandered down to the Naschmarkt _especially_ to buy rhubarb and ginger powder. There is an incredible spice shop there, and I had the choice between regular zingy ginger powder or the very special smelling ingwerpfeffer pulver (which would roughly translate to superpepper-ginger-powder in German).

The recipe has turned out incredibly well. I can't get baking soda here, so I used two teaspoons of baking powder instead and guessed that we also add half a cup of milk? The cupcakes taste fantastic and definitely will make a second appearance in the kitchen. Next time I am going to give this a shot with the gunpowder ginger!

OMG, these look great! For the past two weeks, I'...

OMG, these look great! For the past two weeks, I've been dying to play with rhubarb -- I have to admit that I've never worked with it and this is the first year that I actually understand what it is :) (though I never thought of it as red celery...). Anyway, I've only seen small quantities of them at farmer's markets and stores in LA for like $4-5/lb or bunch, but once they get a little cheaper, I'm going to refer back to these rhubarb-in-cupcakes posts.

At least to console myself, I made papaya-cashew-mango cupcakes w/ a $1.50 papaya, and a choc-rum glaze. :) Fresh fruit and vegetables in cake is a favorite thing of mine, and it's a lot of fun to read about what you're doing with them.

Your cupcakes are just stunning.

Garrett your cupcake fusion looks awesome! Ginger cupcakes and rhubarb and ginger cream cheese frosting, sounds so very springy and refreshing all the same! I so love your try with the pastry bag skills, looking good!!! You might outdo me now! ;0)

Garrett, why are you still using red celery for your cupcakes???

Kidding, kidding of course. :) This cupcake looks very tasty.

It is funny that rhubarb is a craze now. We always had it growing in the backyard and I grew up picking it and eating it raw with just a sprinkle of salt.

Mom always made rhubarb and strawberry pie..but I love these cupcakes!

Definitely a special occasion cupcake this. I never quite got the whole craze about rhubarb until I was given some rhubarb muffins baked by a friend here some years ago. Used correctly they are delicious.
