Hello Lorraine,

I have some Trader Joe's Gingerbread Mix in my pantry along with some crushed pineapple that goes into the original "Upside Down Cake" we know and love. This combo Gingerbread and Pineapple I think would work...but make it like an upside down cake. There are all sorts of variations for this one. My folks would love it. My dad loves gingerbread so I think that would put a smile on his face. My mom loves anything!

Keep on cooking and making us all smile with your gorgeous delicacies!
