It's a Gingerbread Cake Day!!!

DianaB · 10-22-2007, 12:32 PM

Every fall when the weather turns cold and dreary I pick a really awful day and make homemade gingerbread cake and top it with Cool-whip. It's always something that my kids looked forward to.

Well, today it's been rainy and a lot cooler than it has been so I've got gingerbread cake in the oven and the kids have been called to bring over the grandkids after school. The house is about to get lively with all of their little voices.

I have one daughter that I didn't call because she won't be able to get off work and I don't want her to feel left out. Also, my daughter-in-law and son-in-law won't be here either but they'll all show up after work. I can't wait for them to get here!!!!!

How lovely, and what a nice way to start the fall... not to mention the nice smell of baking

It does feel like fall - Unbelievably cold outside, brrrrrr!

I think about right now Id do anything for a piece of that gingerbread cake, YUMMMY!

I thought since it was cold Id make a chicken/sausage gumbo today. Ummm, nope the roux turned out horrible so I dumped it out, LOL. Oh well, we will have tostadas instead.

Diana - I think that cold front is to stand over your state and mine the next couple days. I think it would be best if we just stay inside, keep warm, and do nothing. Whatcha think?

Gingerbread cake sounds yummy!!!!! What a nice tradition you've started!!!

It was really cold here this morning, too. Guess it's really fall. It's supposed to be beautiful this weekend.

Wonderful! My son makes molasses cookies for a similar treat now. We have done the houses when he was little - lots of fun.

I love that site Marilyn!! That's one of the great benefits of living in the computer era--we can learn things without having someone teach us. It opens up so many possibilities! There are a lot of recipes I would've never learned had it not been for the internet...
