Gingerbread

Gingerbread is deliciously tasty, fun and very versatile; there are light and dark gingerbreads, chocolate varieties and even gingerbread laden with fruits, nuts and candies. All are employed in this creative collection of gingerbread castles, animals, cottages and cakes that can be adapted for Christmas, birthday parties and as gifts. As well as basic, traditional gingerbread recipes and a glossary of techniques, there are 24 wonderful projects to make, including Christmas tree cookies, a steam train, a rocking horse, an embellished elephant, Noah’s Ark, a fairy-tale castle and much more. Whether decorated with piped icing, gold leaf paint or festooned with tiny candies, the projects taste as delicious as they look. With more than 180 pictures and artworks demonstrating what you are aiming to achieve, and step-by-step photographs illustrating each stage of the making process, the projects are easy to construct and a delight to make. This charming book is a must for cake decorators, craftspeople and children of all ages.
