Help me make these myself...please

[Mung]

I want to make something like these myself.
Can anyone help.

1. Where can I get a set of star cutters that decrease in size?
2. Do you have a good (easy) gingerbread recipe?
3. Where would I find the icing?
4. What else would I need?

Thanks for the help.

At that price you might as well buy the kit - the cutters alone would cost more.

Oh That looks like fun

How to make Gingerbread

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC
2. Brush a loaf tin (20cm by 10cm) with oil and sprinkle with flour
3. Sift the flour, ground spices, baking soda and salt together and mix in half the chopped crystallised ginger
4. Beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy and beat in the eggs 1 at a time
5. Mix in the fresh, grated ginger
6. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry

ingredients

1. Spoon into the loaf tin and sprinkle the remaining crystallised ginger over the batter, press lightly into the batter
2. Bake for approximately about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean for my baking tips
3. Turn out onto a cooling rack and allow cool completely

Icing you could make you own, icing sugar, water, food colour or buy icing pens from a supermarket.

You would need to "stick" each layer together with some icing and let it dry befor you could decorate it.

Hope that helps

Thanks...I went in that shop today to look for cutters, but ended up leaving before having a good hunt around as DS threw a wobbler

I eat my own words
