    Marvellous Gingerbread Stars {biscuit kit}

    December 9, 2022 - By 

    A few weeks ago I featured the Marvellous Gingerbread Stars Biscuit Kit from Asda in my gingerbread gift guide. I’ve been so busy lately but this week I finally found time to make the biscuits. Marvellous Gingerbread Stars {biscuit kit} I love a packet mix because they are such a time saver. I just needed to add butter, Golden Syrup and water to make the gingerbread dough. I rolled it out and used the star-shaped cookie cutter included in the packet to cut out the stars. The kit made 15 stars but I used a smaller cutter to make a…

    I can’t believe it’s that time of year again but here I am with another Christmas Gingerbread Gift Guide to share with you. I love gingerbread all year round, but nothing beats the smell of warm gingerbread at this time of year. Gingerbread actually refers to a broad category of baked goods, typically flavoured with ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. I can’t resist a gingerbread biscuit but you can pretty much get anything flavoured with gingerbread these days. This year I’ve included gingerbread themed gifts as well as gingerbread house kits and gingerbread biscuits. Of course I’ll be building the…

    We love baking gingerbread and half term has given the opportunity to slow down a little and do some of the things we enjoy. Such as baking.

A few weeks ago the shops were full of Halloween treats and I picked up a few to make with the kids. We made Ghoulish Gingerbread Skeletons from M&S but had another kit to make. These kits make baking with the kids super simple. Spooky Halloween gingerbread treats I think this Gingerbread Skeleton Biscuit Kit…
