Christmas Gingerbread Cake
With Christmas coming up very soon I decided to make a cake inspired by the flavour of gingerbread. The cake contains many Christmas flavours such as ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. I bought some gingerbread syrup online, to add even more flavour to the cake (and buttercream) and this helps that cake taste like a Starbucks Ginger Bread Latte! For the buttercream, I made a brown sugar buttercream which uses the same spices I used for the cake. Also, I decorate the top of the cake little candy gingerbread sprinkles. This cake with instantly make your house feel and smell Christmasy!
