You can bake it too

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.

I was so excited to be part of the #25daysofcollabs on Instagram with some amazing bakers to celebrate this festive season.  Each day starting from the 1st of December, different bakers have been involved in creating a bake from different themes. I picked the theme of a Christmas Village to be part of.  After searching and trying to come up with ideas on what to bake, I settled on a cute gingerbread sleigh with a village on top.  This Christmas Village is made entirely out of gingerbread and decorated with royal icing and sprinkles. This is the first gingerbread house & sleigh I've ever made.  I usually love to bake gingerbread men for Christmas.  But for this collaboration, I wanted a challenge.  So, I decided to design, make and decorate this Christmas Village. Please check out my Instagram post and also see what amazing creations the other bakers have made for this theme too. If you would like to make a Christmas Village too, I have include...

One of my favourite Christmas bakes that I look forward to has to be baking Gingerbread Men. These gingerbread men are so cute and fun to make.  They are the traditional gingerbread cookies that are loved by all at Christmas time. Last Christmas I baked gingerbread men holding mini candy canes and everyone loved them and so this year I had to bake them again and share them with you all. This is a great recipe and you can decorate the gingerbread men anyway you like, using royal icing and adding some food colouring. But, if you only make the gingerbread men with the mini candy canes, you don't need to make a full batch of icing as you only need a very small amount for the eyes, mouth and to stick the candy canes onto the gingerbread man's body.
