Christmas baking week - Gingerbread feast!

Here is the second part of my Christmas baking week : Gingerbread men!

What would the Christmas holiday be without the smell of delicious wintery spices of cakes and mulled wine in the house?! As I looked for the perfect recipe I realized that most recipes use molasses which I am not too fond of, therefore I use Lyle's golden syrup (previously used in this recipe). 

Gingerbread men are also a delicious treat to bring to the office and they can also make a fun decoration for your Christmas tree!

*Recipe here 

*Spices used for the gingerbread men: ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon*

*Make holes before cooking them if you wish to hang them on your Christmas tree*

*A perfect treat to bring to the office (labels designed by me and can also be found here)*

It's time to decorate!

It's time to start the Christmas decorations! I'm not sure I will start setting up the tree just yet but i will surely begin to make our home a little more Christmassy and will start thinking about the Christmas eve dinner menu and other little seasonal treats to prepare :) Here are some inspirations I found, I really like them because they do not over do it and are simply beautiful.

Have you started decorating yet?
