I do enjoy making gingerbread people, and I especially like to come up with different ways to jazz them up. Last year at christmas time I made gingerbread elves and I expect that I will do them again this year, but as it is still November I thought I ought to do something a little less festive.
I made little hats, scarves and pairs of gloves in icing of matching colours, and stuck everything together with a little royal icing. My sister even suggested making them some little boots, but I decided that they looked cosy enough and definitely ready for the cold winter weather that is gradually coming our way!
