Both adults and kids will love the ideas in the CUtG chapter: From a’traditional gingerbread family to a flock of adorable fluffy sheep, there’s something here to bring a smile to someone’s face.

When you want to really show off your decorating skills, why not turn to the pretty chapter? Bring a box of beautifully made autumn leaf cookies to a Thanksgiving dinner, or a batch of pretty dancing shoes to a Mother’s Day party and you’ll soon be everyone’s favourite guest!

Christmas, Halloween and weddings are all perfect occasions for festive gingerbread. If you’re tired of bringing out the same old Christmas ornaments year after year why not bake some little wreaths or snowflakes and hang them on the tree – perfect for nibbling on!

Everyone loves gingerbread, so All the house with the deliciously festive, spicy smell of baking cookies and start decorating!
