X'mas Baking - Gingerbread Family

We, the Tan Family like to wish the readers of my blog..
A very Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!


Presenting the Gingerbread cookies that represents us, the Tan Family!




As X'mas is approaching, everyone is busy with christmas shopping or xmas baking for their loved ones & friends. However, our parents are too busy & hardly have time to shop for gifts this year. We also do not have the mood to set up our huge family xmas tree. My parents are too preoccupied with the frequent incidents that I've been facing in school & busy searching for new one, hoping the new environment will suit me fine.

Moreover, with our new member, Hebe, who is still very young, constantly needs hugs and attention from us.

Despite all this, Mummy tried to create some x'mas atmosphere to our family by involving me to do some handmade xmas cards & simple baking. Last week, we experiment a new recipe given by our neighbour last year, to do some gingerbread cookies for our loved ones. It is a success.. Yum Yummy!!



Mummy as the main chef.. she made the dough in that afternoon & chilled it for our use in the evening.



I'm her assistant chef, assisting to cut out the shapes and do simple decorating on them.





Here the freshly baked gingerbread cookies.. see the black dots on some cookies? That are those I help to decorate.




Happy with my 'master' work!



These are the pretty cookies decorated by Daddy, using the food marker.


we enjoy this whole baking process as it is a activity involving the whole family... we will wait till Hebe is older to join our baking session.


~ Love from Tan Family ~

Hello! My name is Hayley Tan said...

Hi Jen,
Yeap, the food markers resemble like those marker pen with fine or broad tips. Only difference is this type of food marker is edible. The ink used are safe for consuming.

Very easy and fun to use! :)
