Today I felt like getting into the Christmas spirit. I did some baking with my son and we made a gingerbread family and put together and decorated a gingerbread house. As you can see we're not the most talented decorators in the world but it was great fun. I think my son munched through more than his fair share of cake decorations and gingerbread men anyway. The gingerbread daddy on the right of this photo is carefully hiding a few bites out of the roof so now it is no longer something we can share with other people particularly as I look back on the photos at his dribbling nose.
In order to decorate the gingerbread house I purchased a fantastic cake decorating tool and I think you'll agree that it looks great. Really easy to use especially for children. Believe me this is not a simple tool especially if you haven't got the mixture just right. It is either so stiff that you cannot squeeze it out of the tube or its too runny and doesn't hold its shape. I really think I'm going to have to practice with this a bit more. I'll let you know if I come up with a good ratio of ingredients.
Well they are pretty tasty and it is such a fun thing to do with children especially if you don't mind the mess and them eating far too much sugar.
