 | Back in Severna Park, there was a restaurant called The Gingerbread Man (I found a link to a Facebook page of people who miss it...cracks me up!) I am not sure if it was a chain or not, but I would liken it to a Ruby Tuesdays. The big exception: the served giant pieces of warm gingerbread with either whipped cream or a lemon sauce. The gingerbread was so good. This cake nearly replicates it because it is so large. I love the flavor and eating it takes me back to high school dates and lunches with my mom while out shopping. |
