This has become a new tradition in our house and one that brought so much fun. I wish we'd started it sooner because the memories from this one time are already special. Not only does it bring everyone together for a Christmas activity it tastes delicious with its deep ginger flavour, yet sweet and buttery. You can get creative with the design and decoration but it's all about the fun and enjoyment with this bake!
