Eggnog Cheesecake Cake

I’m obsessed with making these cheesecake cakes. And it was only necessary to make an eggnog version. With a homemade spice cake. And eggnog buttercream frosting.

This cake is creamy, and spicy, and just plain delicious. I wish you all could have a little taste!

Are you all ready for the holidays? It’s hard to believe Christmas is only days away now! As I look at the calendar and think life will slow down over my kids break, I realized something. I have a daughter who swims. Life doesn’t slow down, instead our coaches have them swimming doubles over break. I mean why not, right? {said saracastically}

Of course my daughter is one who looks forward to swimming twice a day, even if I were to try and coax her into skipping, she’d never go for it! Not even if I tried to coax her with cake, cupcakes, fudge…she likes to swim.

Well, with one mouth out of the house that means more cake for me!

Do you have any crazy plans over the holidays??
