All you need to make this Christmas Gingerbread Man Bunting is a pair of scissors, some glue, and a length of string. When cutting out the gingerbread man, make sure to include the flap located at the top of his head which is used to keep the gingerbread man template secure on the string once it is glued down.

What is Christmas bunting? Homemade gingerbread men make a great edible gift idea for the festive holiday season. Simply place them in cellophane bags and decorate them with a bow, or place them in paper boxes wrapped in twine. Assemble a family of gingerbread men on a serving platter at the centre of your dessert table, or you could even set up a DIY decorating gingerbread station at your Christmas party and let your guests have fun creating their masterpiece. Conversely, you could also turn the gingerbread men into the card itself – print off two copies of the same template and staple them together on one side. 8.

Using a basic gingerbread man recipe, when the biscuits come out of the oven, simply turn them upside down and they become the shape of reindeer heads. Use tubed icing to decorate the gingerbread biscuits and hey presto! Lovely Christmas biscuits. Another great resource like this is this Christmas Spiced Biscuits Recipe.A little bicarb is added to your gingerbread dough. Not much but just enough to cause a slight reaction with the heat in the oven. This helps achieve a more even bake and texture in your biscuits, and prevent them edging from having a nice bite, to breaking your teeth! Only a small amount of raising agent is used in this recipe for gingerbread biscuits. These aren’t you soft, squidgy, nearly cake-like gingerbread men…these are crunchy, with a bit of snap when you break them gingerbread men. Simple plain flour helps us achieve that texture. As these gingerbread biscuits are loaded with flavour from the ginger & cinnamon – not to mention the sweetness of the sugar and golden syrup – the choice of butter or margarine purely comes down to personal preference, as neither will really enhance or effect the overall taste. I like margarine as a way to omit the dairy (making these vegan gingerbread men) and because it is less expensive. You can make eyes, buttons, and a mouth where they would normally go or just fill in the lines randomly. 3. Classroom Decorations
