This is not your typical gingerbread man! This Mister Gingerbread is dressed up and ready for the holidays. Isn't his little bowtie adorable?
Materials needed:
~ Baked sugar cookies - You can get a similar cookie cutter HERE.
~ Royal Icing
~ Gel food coloring
~ brown, red
~ Edible thin tip marker - You can get it HERE.
~ Scribe
~ Piping bags
The royal icing consistencies should be as follows:
*Red royal icing - Medium consistency.
*White royal icing - Medium consistency.
*Brown royal icing - Medium consistency
For this design, you do not need to use any specific type of tip. I simply the desired hole size at the tip of the piping bag. If you get any bubbles while piping, simply use your scribe or toothpick and smooth it out.
Step 1
Make sure your baked cookie is completely cooled before adding any royal icing.
Step 2
Pipe some suspenders onto the body of the gingerbread man.
Step 3
Next, use the brown icing and add on the head, arms, and feet.
Step 4
Once the brown icing starts to harden, go ahead and add the white shirt underneath the suspenders.
Step 5
Once the brown and red icing is completely dry, use the edible black marker. Add a face and some stitching detailing onto the suspenders. Don't forget to add some red pockets!
Step 6
Once the white shirt and red pockets are fully dry, draw on some detailing onto the shirt and pockets. After, use the red icing and add a bowtie! Let completely dry before serving or gifting.
