3D Gingebread pumpkin
The decorating I'll show you in the videos is on 3D gingerbread created by baking individual pieces together. If you want to create the same pumpkin shape that I'm decorating, a heart-shaped cookie cutter is all you need. You cut out the individual pieces with it, place them next to each other on the baking sheet. During baking, the joins seal and create this 3D pumpkin.
The amazement at your skill will be endless. The classic style always wins. Thanks to white icing, your gingerbread cookies will always stand out from 99% of everything you see around.
From previous lessons, you already know that I advocate for classic white decoration, which has brought me success in many tradition-focused competitions. I do not use colored icing at all, and neither do you have to.
