Christmas Gingerbread Fun

December 14, 2011 by admin 12 Comments

When I think of Christmas, I think of gingerbread. We’ve already made gingerbread tree decorations here, which were a big hit with the kids, so when I saw a mini gingerbread man mould I couldn’t resist buying it.

We used this recipe from the BBC food website, and it was amazing.

The little men came out quite easily, leaving Z and S the fun task of decorating them.

We made a little gang.

Some of the men broke on the way out so I squished them into balls and put them in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Then I coated the balls in chocolate and added some mini smartie eyes and pretzel antlers. Its a bit of shame about the finger smear, but I’m quite impressed and cannot wait for the Z and S to see the cake pop in the morning.

We also made a whoopie pie.

A day of gingerbread fun!

    So that’s how you get them to come out looking the same shape they went in! I will be posting our Gingerbread house escapades over the weekend. Wish me luck!
