Gingerbread
Ginger and molasses make up the main flavors of gingerbread, although cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, and even chiles are often added to spice it up even more. Gingerbread lends its name to cakes, cookies, puddings, pancakes, lattes, fudge, ice cream and so on.
The lenses below are the best of the gingerbread lenses on Squidoo, in my humble opinion. Each one highlights a different aspect of the gingerbread world in a thorough and visually pleasing way.
