Sugar decoration Gingerbread man, 12 pieces
The Gingerbread man – a piece of Christmas to place on top
The Gingerbread man is one of the oldest and most beloved Christmas symbols – warm, cheerful and inseparably linked to the festive season. Whether on the Christmas plate, as tree decoration or on the holiday cake – the Gingerbread man instantly brings Christmas spirit wherever it appears. With the Sugar decoration Gingerbread men from FunCakes, that's exactly what you get – ready to use, edible and placed on any baked good in seconds. No baking time, no modelling, no drying. Simply place, press lightly – and the Christmas magic is set. The 12 edible Gingerbread men made from sugar are intricately designed, in the festive advent colours of beige, green and red, with a pleasant vanilla aroma. At approximately 2 x 2.5 cm, they are immediately visible on any baked good – on the advent cupcake just as much as on a large Christmas cake or homemade Gingerbread for St. Nicholas Day. Twelve Gingerbread men per pack – enough for a whole Christmas bakery.
Handling – here's how easy it is
The decorative Gingerbread men are ready to use straight away – simply open the pack and get started. Placing them is straightforward and works perfectly even without baking experience. On a moist surface such as Buttercream, Ganache, sugar glaze or icing, place the Gingerbread man using a Cooking tweezer or your fingers and press lightly – the moist surface ensures the figure adheres immediately and sits securely, without any additional aids. On a dry Fondant surface, apply a small dot of edible glue or a drop of melted chocolate to the underside of the figure, press down and wait briefly until the glue has set – then the Gingerbread man sits securely in place. One thing is particularly important when working with this Sugar decoration: sugar figures are sensitive to moisture. Do not store the decoration in the fridge – the moisture will soften the figures and the fine details will be lost. If the finished decorated baked good is refrigerated, place the figures on just before serving. Otherwise store in a cool, dry place away from light at 12–20°C – this keeps the Gingerbread men dimensionally stable and ready for use at any time.
Ways to use them – from the advent gathering to the Christmas table
The sugary Gingerbread men are versatile and transform any baked good into a festive Christmas decoration. On advent cupcakes, one Gingerbread man per cupcake is the classic approach – place centrally on the Buttercream or Ganache and press lightly. Combined with festive Sprinkle decor or edible Glitter, a festive cupcake is created in seconds that delights at every advent gathering and Christmas party. Twelve Gingerbread men – twelve perfectly decorated advent cupcakes. On the Christmas cake, the figures can be used in a targeted and creative way – arranged as a group on the Cake base, as an even border decoration or as a central eye-catcher on a holiday cake covered in Buttercream or Ganache. Several Gingerbread men on a white Fondant-covered cake – and the Christmas table has its centrepiece. Homemade Gingerbread can be elevated with the Sugar decoration Gingerbread men in seconds. Place a Gingerbread man on top, press lightly – done. If you like, add a dot of Royal icing or a few Sugar pearls. This creates festive Gingerbread that immediately stands out on the Christmas plate – or, packed in a Transparent bag, makes a wonderful St. Nicholas gift. The figures also look excellent on festive Christmas desserts – placed on tiramisu, mousse au chocolat or in dessert glasses just before serving, the Christmas dessert buffet is complete in seconds.

Advent cupcakes, Christmas cake, Gingerbread, festive desserts – the Sugar decoration Gingerbread men fit everywhere and bring Christmas spirit everywhere. Ready to use, edible, instantly deployable.
