T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, every<\/em> creature was stirring, yes, even a mouse! A gingerbread cake spiked neatly with rum, put the children back to bed before they could hum. (Nooooooo! Not real rum, come on, rum extract people\u2013 rum extract<\/em>!) <\/p>\n

Mother smeared the cake good with a browned butter frosting and gave Father a lick from her spoon before tossing. When they finally snuggled up tight for the night, Santa Claus came and gave them a fright! (Because, actually, it was a bad Santa, the kind that breaks a window instead of coming down the chimney). <\/p>\n

A house full of chaos, needless to say, the Gingerbread Cake was at least here to stay…. <\/p>\n

And I’m not even going to tell you if that’s fact or fiction. Okay, it’s kind of both. We were robbed last Christmas and my kids really love rum brown butter cream cheese frosting. (Please let this frosting not be the gateway to hurricanes, daiquiris and mojitos.) <\/p>\n

Anapestic tetrameter aside, even if you don’t like sweet spices (cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg) you will want to slather everything in this frosting. Yes, it is that<\/em> good. I wouldn’t waste my time bragging about it, if it was just run of the mill prose. My husband smears the extra on toast in the morning. <\/p>\n

To get ready for Christmas, the children would help, and then run to their laptops to watch Ariel in kelp. Exhausted, but happy, Mother, after lighting the tree (Yes, I put real candles on the tree, family tradition \u2013 we have an extinguisher nearby, don’t worry) sipped scotch and ate a big slice of cake happily. She passed out on the sofa with a belly warm and full, Father carried her upstairs \u2013 now that’s an ending so cool!<\/p>\n

It does taste better when your Sous Chef doesn’t mix up cumin for cinnamon though. Happy Holidays Friends, wishing you a cozy and healthy Winter break \u2013 we are ALL in this together! <\/p>\n
