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.

KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers

There's a reason KitchenAid mixers are used by all the pros...they rock! It's true, it's not the same as making things by hand which can produce a state of mental calm BUT - if you're in a hurry (and who isn't these days) a KitchenAid mixer will save you more time than you can imagine. Not to mention how well it mixes things.
