Gingerbread Men

There is a part in Shrek that really makes Robin and I laugh.  It involves a Gingerbread Man.

I told Robin we could make Gingerbread Men this year.  This was the first batch.  I really went to town with the frosting… they tasted good, but weren’t anything nice to look at.

Some detail pictures.  Let me explain, from left to right, top to bottom.
Gingerbread man in one-piece red pajamas, gingerbread girl in swimsuit with flip-flops, this gingerbread man was supposed to be tie-die but something went very wrong, a gingerbread girl in a ruffle skirt with high-heels, gingerbread man with heart, this gingerbread man is like the symbol that says “don’t walk” at the cross walk

Robin liked the gingerbread men so much, that he wanted more. He even made them this time. I kept the frosting simple – just the outline. Last night we took some of them to some friends but this recipe makes a lot of Gingerbread men, so we still have a whole army of Gingerbread men sitting in our kitchen.
