Frosted Gingerbread Loaf

What's more delicious than a gingerbread cookie? A slice of this indulgent Frosted Gingerbread Loaf 🍞 Thanks to the help of our Gingerbread Compound we were able to perfectly infuse this loaf with bold ginger, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses notes. We finished this treat off with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting flavored with a touch of our Natural Vanilla Bean Artisan.
