It would be lovely to know what you planted as I need to get cracking but am never sure how early some things can be started off. I love gingerbread cake and always use a recipe I had from mum. Itβs very gingery, we always add extra, and if I wrap it in grease proof paper and leave it a couple of days it goes really sticky and gooey. I sometimes make a gingery buttery cream to top it with πCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755023281455689775noreply@blogger.com
