Spring is Here Gingerbread 3D Cake

Gingerbread is not just for Christmas! Why not spend a day with your family welcoming Spring with a yummy 3D Gingerbread cake. This Hopping High Rise cake takes 3-D design to new heights. A decorated Pre-Baked Gingerbread Bunny Hutch sits on a separator plate “treetop” that’s attached to the top of a Tall Tier Cake Stand column that’s been turned into a tree trunk. Recipe here.

Gingerbread Man Cakelet Pan William Sonoma

We were at the William Sonoma store a couple days ago and they just received the limited edition Gingerbread Man cake pan. It is a nonstick baking pan that transforms Gingerbread Men from the traditional flat cookies to delicious little cakes. Pan bakes six individual Gingerbread Men shaped cakes with their familiar outline and three-dimensional detail so you can catch them right out of the oven and add currants for eyes and cherries for buttons.  I plan to whip up a batch of these tasty cakes this coming weekend.
