[b]*I made a gingerbread cake today (Sally's Baking addiction). It's cooling, so haven't frosted it or tried it yet. [/b]

*I made toffee about a week ago, and it was good.

*I want to make pecan pralines like my mother did every Christmas when I was growing up. If anyone knows of a good recipe, that would be great. [/quote]

OP here. Don't love this gingerbread cake. Super disappointing because I almost always love anything I bake from Sally's recipes. It was dry, not spiced enough (even though I added a bit more cinnamon and cloves than the recipe called for), and the frosting was way too sweet. Not all the recipe's fault though -- I think I overbaked it, and I have finally decided I just don't love cream cheese frosting. Oh well, onward. [/quote]

Here's my go-to gingerbread: https://smittenkitchen.com/2008/12/gramercy-taverns-gingerbread/ and she did a reworking of it with frosting that is too much for me (I'm a plain w/ powdered sugar type), but my guests have really enjoyed: https://smittenkitchen.com/2015/12/gingerbread-layer-cake/[/quote]

I make this gingerbread loaf. I add 1/4 cup of candied ginger, which really gives it so much more flavor. I skip the frosting, because it's perfect on its own.
