Mini gingerbread chocolate layer cake

In the weeks after Black Friday, I waited and waited for an opportunity to break out my haul and make some badass (give or take a few units of badassery) cake with either my a) two six-inch pans or b) four three-inch pans, both of which are absolutely adorable. At last, the time has come! Faced with the opportunity to bring some cake to school, I broke out the six-inchers and made deliciously seasonal cake.

Six-inch cake pans, that is.
