I decided just to post the recipe rather than emailing it out (sorry I don't have a picture, as my camera was not working before these disappeared the last time I made them!). These are really worth making if you like cranberries, cream cheese, white chocolate...not so healthy, but a very nice Christmas treat! I found this recipe on a copycat websight, wasn't entirely happy with it, and made my own revisions.
Hope you enjoy the reults!

Cranberry Bliss Wedges

Cake:

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup diced dried cranberries

1 heaping cup of white chocolate chips/chunks

Icing:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

3 cups icing sugar

4 teaspoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup diced dried cranberries

Drizzle:

1/2 cup icing sugar

1 Tablespoon milk

1/2 tsp. lemon juice

2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Directions:
*Oven- 350

* Cake: Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, ginger and salt and beat well. Add flour, stirring gently until smooth.

* Fold in diced, dried cranberries and white chocolate. Spread into greased pan (9x13).

* Bake 35 minutes, or until brown. Cool.

* Icing: Blend cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly onto cooled cake. Sprinkle 1/2 cup dried cranberries on top of icing.

* Drizzle: Mix 1/2 cup icing sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and shortening until well blended. Drizzle using a cake decorator or a baggie with a small hole cut in a corner. Zigzag back and forth over top of icing/cranberries.

Let it sit for a couple of hours before cutting. Cut these into triangular wedges for serving with coffee/tea, or cut into squares or bars for a platter.

Makes about 16 wedges or 24 large squares.
