    She is notoriously hard to impress, and is a woman of very plain tastes, so I wasn’t sure she’d love the gingerbread. But she actually asked to take some home with her!

    It’s a gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting. Actually quite easy to put together, and it came out really tasty! I get the magazine which had this cake in it, but they also have the base recipe on their website:

    Paired with their cream cheese frosting and styled with sugared cranberries and rosemary. Christmas in cake form!

    Omg my MIL is so hard to impress to. I wish I didn’t care so much, then I wouldn’t feel like I wasn’t just a baby carrier for my husband’s mom.

    I read your post as saying, “I finally exposed my mother-in-law with this gingerbread cake!” I have to let you know that the disappointment that followed wasn’t due to your lovely cake. I was expecting to hear a titillating tale.
