Gingerbread Cake Thoughts

There's something about gingerbread cake that is so comforting. Add a dollop of whipped cream and brew up some tea, ah, now I can sit and relax.

I noticed that the way the whipped cream dripped on the cake looked like a thought bubble, prompting a bit of Photoshop fun.

I got the recipe from The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper (so superb!) and it's really, really easy. I used fresh ginger instead of dried, and I think it turned out perfect.

I better get going. Yesterday I accidentally snipped at my finger while peeling a mango, and typing is quite painful. I'll leave you with another shot of my yummy cake. "Matane" means "See you later," in Japanese.
