Houses, men, trees, and a gingerbread village (cake coming soon!)! All made with a simple gingerbread biscuit dough. Crispy, mellow spices, yummy. 😊👍🎊 - - - Full recipe for gingerbread biscuits (cookies) and house on the blog, link in bio and look for gingerbread house. #homemade #gingerbreadbiscuits #gingerbreaddough #cookiedough #gingerbreadhouse #goldensyrup #honey #gingerbreadspices #recipe #illustratedrecipe #illustratedrecipes #fooddrawing #inthekitchen #ilovebaking

Come in! says the friendly gingerbread man. 😊 But don't bite my head off... 😂 Sorry not funny at all...🤷‍♀️The front door of my gingerbread house (there's a snail sneaking in the back door). Lots of fun to make and so surprised at how well royal icing can stick things together! Recipe up on the blog, link in bio then look for gingerbread house. 😊👍 - - - #homemade #gingerbreadhouse #gingerbreadman #gingerbread #paindepicesmaison #homemadegingerbread #winterbakingfun #winterbaking #eat #ediblehouses #cakes #cakestagram #foodphotography #instafood #foodies #food #foodstagram #foodart #foodcrafts #ilovebaking 💖

Brightening up our January - the gingerbread house that didn't collapse (phew) or get eaten!!! 😁👏👏 Fun to make and look at. Pretty easy based on Donal Skehan's videorecipe. Just posted adapted recipe on blog, link in bio then search for gingerbread house. Perfect for that January diet if just for decoration 😉 (make gingerbread cookies to eat with leftover dough). Have you always wanted to make a gingerbread house? Or are you a pro? - - - #homemade #gingerbreadhouse #gingerbread #baking #xmasbaking #gingerbreadspices #honey #muscovadosugar #goldensyrup #royalicing #eat or #donteat #gingerbreadhouses #basicpipingskills #piping #foodphotography #ediblehouse #donalskehanrecipe #gingerbreadcookies #gingerbreadsnail #foodies #festivebaking #foodstagram #tooprettytoeat #food #jellytots #chocolatebuttons #cutefood #ilovebaking 😍💖

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.

A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.

Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants by Dookes. Very well-shaped and nicely risen too! ‘For a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test’ says Dookes.

Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!

A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’

Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!

Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.

Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)

A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)

A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.
