Gingerbread Skeletons
Enough of the laughter - I tried my best! Hopefully for those of you that are artistic you can see the potential in these Gingerbread Skeletons for Halloween. The dough itself is very easy to make and is based on a Delia Smith recipe that now has many adaptions. It withstands manhandling by the kids so it really doesn't matter how much they play around it. White Designer Icing (from Silverspoon) was used to pipe on the skeleton frame. Just make sure you knead the icing tube a little before use, it makes piping a lot easier. This would make an ideal half term activity with the kids.
