TIME

1 hour

SUITABLE FOR

Ages 10+

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Gingerbread Dough | Icing | Cutting Tool | Card Stock | Scissors | Wooden Skewers

WHAT TO DO

  1. Using the card stock, cut out tall triangles in a few sizes for the mountains
  2. Insert Skewers slowly into the bottom. Make sure they are long enough for your cake so they can rest firmly in the cake.
  3. Bake according to package
  4. Once cool, ice the tips of the mountains. I used store-bought icing because it was such a small amount, but you can always whip up some royal icing.

AND THEN

Sprinkle fine sugar over the cookies for a little sparkle!
