Christmas will soon be upon us, and whether you like to make gingerbread, design entire villages out of it, or simply eat it, ‘tis the season! This multi-faceted cookie can be used to form cool places like The Alamo (near and dear to every heart in Texas) or it can be molded into edible gift tags for your presents! You can also create entire gingerbread projects such as farms or ranches, groups of people or animals, and scenes from your favorite movies. There are so many great ways to give or receive or even just display gingerbread that it’s hard to tell which is the best. So, how do you do your gingerbread? Either way you slice it, it’s all delicious to us!
