National Gingerbread Day

 If you could believe it, today is National Gingerbread Day! When I heard that this afternoon - SWEATING from another humid June day- I thought to myself.. "heck yeah I could eat some gingerbread" And thus my afternoon ' was booked.

Let's DO this!

First step is to always prep the baking area

Then it was time to cream the butter with the brown sugar

Then I added the molasses

I decided to mix blackstrap molasses and robust molasses for the gingerbread

After I added the ginger flour mixture, it was time to fill our cake pan for the oven

Filled and ready to make our gingerbread day dreams come true!

.... 1 hour 15 minutes later....

Gingerbread Done!

Until Mr. Yesteryear Acres came inside and asked where the iced topping was

And thus we have reached Iced Gingerbread Heaven!

I mean when its hot outside you ask for ice right?!?

Isn't it fun when inspiration can strike in the strangest of forms?

Happy National Gingerbread Day!

Always,

Amelia
