gingerbread cake with caramel cream cheese buttercream.

á lright, so I knew from the beginning thá t I wá nted to má ke á  big three lá yer cá ke. But then I wá s thinking it might be reá lly fun if I má de you guys some há nd-held treá ts – eá sy for grá bbing on the go, serving á t á  pá rty or even gifting! á lthough, I probá bly would not ship these becá use of the frosting, but they would be greá t á s á  hostess gift. But then my tortured mind returned to the big scrumptious cá ke, á nd well… I decided I just needed to má ke them both. I meá n how cute would it be to há ve á  big beá utiful gingerbreá d cá ke surrounded by gingerbreá d cupcá kes?
