Sprinkle with muffin crumbs to decorate and press a store bought gingerbread cookie down into the center.
To make cake crumbs - Take a single muffin or cupcake and break into pieces on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for ten minutes, or until lightly toasted. Allow to cool and crush with the back of a large spatula.
