Gingerbread layer cake with cream cheese frosting, caramel sauce, sanding sugar, and sprinkles. I'm not in love with how it looks, but it absolutely tastes fantastic!

My gingerbread cake layers, fresh out of the oven. There was a little overflow, but otherwise, they came out great!

There's like a coalition of forces keeping me sane despite the dumpster fire around us, and I need all of them to get the job done.

For the upcoming holiday, I'm making a gingerbread cake. My husband bought me all the supplies I will need. I am wondering if I should make a multi-layer cake or a bundt cake. The layered one will require more work and icing. The bundt cake will be smaller. Thoughts?

I want to switch our cats to healthier wet/fresh food. I looked at Smalls, but for three cats eating twice per day, it's pretty expensive. We are currently feeding dry food regularly and Sheba wet food occasionally. Anyone have a specific brand/type they recommend? Thanks!

Someone on Facebook accused me of not greasing my bundt pan enough. I have never been more offended 😆

I'm going to make several kinds of cookies for the holidays (as well as a gingerbread cake for Thanksgiving). I'm learning how to properly decorate with royal icing. It's going to be awesome!
