Mister Gingerbread Cookie Tutorial

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.
