Those darn cats! Last year, I tried making 3-D gingerbread Christmas trees by cutting two baked cookies in half vertically and using royal icing to attach them in the middle. It worked pretty well.

Choose any shaped cutters you like, such as gingerbread men/women/kids, snowflakes, stars, Christmas trees, or stockings. You can decorate them before baking by pressing small candies, raisins or ...

Make the royal icing as instructed on the packet. Fit a piping bag with a size 1 or 0M tip then fill the piping bag with the icing. Pipe your snowflakes directly on to the sugarpaste circles.
