Gingerbread Men

I'm not very good at baking, I don't enjoy it, it tends to just be a mess making exercise which often doesn't produce anything edible! But that said it is occasionally nice to give it ago.

Today was a rainy day,  so with thanks to a Christmas gift Chloe made some gingerbread men.

The kit came with everything she needed, except a bit of butter and water, which really helped keep mess to a minimum and the biscuits actually tasted pretty good at the end, although the decorating didn't really work out brilliantly - more practise may be needed for the icing, but baking kits seem to be the way forward.
