Pinned ! I left a comment with your ginger bread recipe, but my computer had gone all funny again – let me know if it has gone through, please 🙂
I bet this would be so good drizzled over some cream cheese frosting! I’m so glad you shared it with us on Whimsy Wednesday. We ALWAYS love seeing you here!
Take care and can’t wait to see what you’ve got going on next time,
