Gingerbread Cookie Cake 🍪🎄
I wanted to make gingerbread men, but I didn’t have the cookie cutters & I didn’t feel like trying to cut out eat man using a knife! The next best thing… A gingerbread cookie cake with a chocolate cream cheese gingerbread man!! I think he’s cute even though he doesn’t really have a neck 😅 Great idea for a party!!
