I don’t know how to put it humbly – I’m completely obsessed with the way this retro wreath cake turned out. I love the idea of this cake – it’s a dessert piece that shines on display at a party and encourages guests to pick off and snack on the candy first, before getting to enjoy the cake. Sound familiar? Yup, it’s essentially just a gingerbread house, but it’s not a house…and it’s not made of gingerbread. Another major difference is that you don’t have to worry about any nightmarish assembly issues occurring with this cake. I don’t know about you, but there’s been many times I’ve worked on a gingerbread house (for hours) and then come back to it to discover that it’s walls had caved in or the house had collapsed entirely. No more holiday tragedies for me, I’m thinking I will make this wreath cake my tradition in place of a gingerbread house from here on out!
