Steps:
- Line a 16-cup (10-inch) Bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on all sides (it's okay if the plastic wrap doesn't go completely up the sides of the center column).
- Combine the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes; scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream and continue to beat, starting on medium speed and gradually increasing to medium high as the mixture thickens and finally forms stiff peaks, about 4 minutes.
- Evenly spread about 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream mixture on the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with 16 overlapping cookies to cover. Evenly spread about a third of the remaining cream mixture over the cookies and top with a layer of 16 overlapping cookies on the outer ring of the pan and then 6 halved cookies (snap them in half with your hands) on the inner ring of the pan to cover. Evenly spread out half of the remaining cream mixture and top with a layer of 16 slightly overlapping cookies on the outer ring and about 8 slightly overlapping cookies on the inner ring of the pan to cover. Finish with the remaining cream mixture and spread evenly, then loosely wrap the cake with the plastic wrap overhang. Refrigerate 12 hours and up to overnight.
- Put the remaining cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them to crumbs with a rolling pin or the bottom of a measuring cup; reserve.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic wrap and invert the bundt pan onto a serving platter; remove the pan and carefully pull off the plastic wrap. Using your hands, press the gingersnap crumbs against the bottom of the cake about one-third of the way up the side. Drizzle the top with the caramel and chocolate sauces. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GINGERSNAPS
My disdain for improperly used white chocolate is, I think, pretty well known, so one of my favorite holiday cookies might surprise you! It's one of the cookies in my Charm City Cakes Christmas cookie tins this year. It's a chewy-centered gingersnap cookie drizzled with white chocolate and chopped candied ginger. What's wonderful about these cookies is that you get a crackly texture from the candied ginger and the outside of the cookie as well as a soft, mushy texture from the inside of the cookie. You also get a sweet creaminess from the white chocolate that tempers the sharpness of the ginger. My philosophy is, when you use ginger, use it!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream 2 cups sugar, oil, molasses, and salt together in a bowl.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl and mix into the creamed mixture. Scrape the bowl during the process and try not to overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll the balls in remaining sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and golden, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the cookies halfway through the process so they don't bake unevenly. It's really important not to overbake so the middles stay mushy. Immediately remove the parchment paper from the cookie sheet so the cookies stop baking, and after 2 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Drizzle cookies with white chocolate and immediately sprinkle with chopped candied ginger. You want the still-liquid chocolate to grab the candied ginger.

Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger for a more intense flavor.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the white chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- For a more festive look, decorate the cookies with sprinkles or chopped nuts.
