Christmas Gingerbread Wreath

I'm excited to be taking part again this year with #25daysofcollabs on Instagram with some amazing bakers to celebrate this festive season.  Each day since the start of December, different bakers have been involved in creating a bake from different themes. This year I've picked three themes to be part of.  The second theme is - Christmas Wreaths.  I had a few ideas in mind for this theme but I decided to create a gingerbread wreath for it.  It was fun making all the different snowflakes cookies and decorating it before putting it together on the wreath. This Christmas Gingerbread Wreath is made of various sized gingerbread snowflake cookies and decorated with royal icing.  It's a fun bake and the best part is you can eat the whole thing.  This gingerbread wreath makes a great decoration piece for Christmas or as a gift. Please be sure to follow #25daysofcollabs2019 on Instagram to see all the amazing Christmas creations everyday. Happy Baking xo ...
