    2021 gingerbread gift guide

    November 14, 2021 - By 

    I’ve been a huge fan of gingerbread for as long as I can remember. Every year I love to source gingerbread items to try at home with the family. This year I haven’t managed to find as many gingerbread themed items as previous years. However, I thought I would publish now and add any more products I find later. So far I’ve picked up quite a few gingerbread house kits, gingerbread biscuits and even gingerbread flavoured chocolate. My Gingerbread Gift Guide 2021 features the best gingerbread kits and more, all of which make the perfect gift. 2021 Gingerbread Gift Guide…

    Gingerbread easter eggs

    April 18, 2021 - By 

    You may remember that last Christmas we all had fun decorating ready-made gingerbread house kits from The Best Bit. I was so happy to see that they were producing kits for Easter, so snapped up a gingerbread easter egg kit from The Best Bit. Easter was early this year and also fell at the beginning of our Easter holidays. We were so busy with our usual Easter baking that these got forgotten, we managed to squeeze them in just before we went back to school. The kit included 6 gingerbread eggs to decorate and fill. I thought it would make…

Find out how we made them! Our Gingerbread Easter Biscuit Hunt I love to bake gingerbread biscuits, they…

    December 20, 2020 - By 

    I’ve nearly worked my way through the gingerbread house kits I bought for my Gingerbread Gift Guide. I loved putting it together but was also looking forward to trying out all the different kits I bought. The Waitrose gingerbread kits I bought have been a success.

It cost just £4.40 from Waitrose. Christmas gingerbread house kit We love baking a gingerbread house at Christmas. Over the years…

    Baking edible gingerbread decorations

    December 16, 2020 - By 

    Over the weekend I decided to make one of the gingerbread kits I had bought and featured in my Gingerbread Gift Guide. I chose the Waitrose Gingerbread & Shortbread Decorating Kit. The kit helps you bake and decorate your own magical festive treats and included ingredients to make both gingerbread men and shortbread Christmas tree shaped biscuits. I thought these would be great for baking edible gingerbread decorations to hang on our tree. Baking edible gingerbread decorations I just needed to add unsalted butter, water and golden syrup to the packet mixes. First I made the shortbread, leaving it to…
