Frosted Gingerbread Man

Overview

It is said that starting from December, the year-end carnival begins. Winter Solstice, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival are all coming one after another. The streets and alleys are filled with festive decorations, and men, women and children are full of festive smiles. It doesn't matter whether it is a traditional festival or a foreign festival, as long as it can make everyone happy, any festival will do! No, during Christmas and New Year's Day, the chef also made some gingerbread cookies for friends. Baking cookies and painting icing was quite fun, and my daughter also joined in the fun and insisted on drawing a few to give to her classmates. Look, the picture above is her daughter’s creation. She still felt that she was not satisfied and insisted on letting me bake a few more dishes for her to paint and play with. My mother and I finally started a PK. Her father said that I made traditional patterns, and my daughter made more unique ones. Look, there are also bikinis. It seems that this baking is also a good project for parents and children!
