I had such big plans for this baking project. My friends and family were all going to receive lovely gingerbread men for Valentines Day. It was all going so well...I even had the icing bag loaded to draw cute little outfits on them. An over-enthusiastic oven ruined it all - turning them in to burnt, swollen and overgrown gingerbread people. I salvaged these two lovebirds for a photo, and thanks to the Bourke Street Bakery cookbook - they were actually pretty tasty. I wish I could say the cute accessories from Chalet make you a better baker, but clearly they don't. I think I'm going to leave it to the professionals.
You get points for trying in my book - smokin' idea. Love the baking accessories too.
ReplyDeleteSeriously...I'd totally accept your cute little gingerbread men for a v-day gift. Happily. I say you're awesome for just trying...and if they taste good, who's to complain?
