These cakes will appeal to the whole family and children will bring a lot of fun, especially if they participated in the design. The recipe will be useful for those who want to make a gingerbread Christmas houses, because the dough holds its shape well. For the recipe thanks cook ALF. Special thanks to TM "Mistral" for the fact that cane sugar gave the dough more flavor. I did half the rules, so any grandiose plans safely multiply the ingredients by half. Since gingerbread was made for a children's party, I didn't put in the dough ground pepper, and there he would be OK. Cooking time is very approximate, as I have not included the time on the maturation of the dough, the drying of the icing, the manufacture of small parts. Rather, it reflects just work with the dough. But in the end, because you can just cut out the shapes of some figures and bake them! Also go out with a BANG.
