Gingerbread Cake

I love making cakes.  Ten years ago after my father passed away, I used baking as a way to cope.  It calms me, it makes me happy and then sharing what I've made with others brings me joy.  Andrew's company was having a baking competition at their Christmas party so I knew I had to join.  This cake was ambitious for me but I love the way it turned out.  It won first prize!  It reignited my love for baking!  You can find the recipe I used to make this cake here.
