gingerbread pinecones


This post is inspired by Emma's making winter and her making winter pinecone tutorial
which looks fantastic, and I wanted to make some straight away but I didn't have the clay and was too impatient to wait......


but it's ok, I have an alternative, and it allowed me to indulge in one of my Christmas passions, and make pinecones too.
Gingerbread dough!


I couldn't get the cookies to shape very well, even when warm they cracked, but I stuck them together with icing, and I have a secret weapon when it comes to decorating.

everything Always looks better when covered with the icing sugar snow!

    Ooh, that is the prettiest gingerbread I've seen this year! Loving the pine cone theme. I have just bought the ingreds to make some of those pinecone firelighters. Not so tasty, though! Laura x

    Icing sugar certainly makes everything so much prettier and more edible but, mark my words, those pinecones are lovely little creations.
