June 5th, 2025 is National Gingerbread Day

National Gingerbread Day

A dark cake, rich with ginger and molasses flavors. It can be made in a cake pan or a bread (loaf) pan and is often topped with whipped cream or a sweet sauce (vanilla, lemon, etc).

Gingerbread can also come in the form of cookies which are often cut into shapes (gingerbread men). It can also be used to create "gingerbread houses" which are a favorite with children during the holidays. The cookie form usually has a stiff, white icing that is used for decorating.

You will also find the traditional flavor of gingerbread in everything from waffles to scones
