I've had a baking spell recently and as I hadn't made one for a while out came Nana's Gingerbread recipe.......which reminded me of this photo of Mark taken many moons ago. The gingerbread had been baked for the local Flower Show...luckily I'd baked two and won 1st prize with the other one! The following year I won 1st prize with the photograph!!

Another story attached to this recipe is my Mum's one and only attempt at making it! As young teenagers we'd persuaded Mum to get the recipe off Nana so we could have gingerbread more often......Mum set to and made some for the Guide and Scout Christmas party. The party was in full swing (I think 4 out of the 5 of us were there) and everyone was tucking in when someone shouted urgghh who made that???Everyone turned round to see.....cringe making moment when we discovered it was Mum's gingerbread....suffice to say we all disowned it lol. Mum never made another one!! Fast forward a few years and after a couple of years of marriage I'd moved house and gone from a gas cooker to an electric one. Did a big bake one day including a gingerbread and couldn't understand why the gingerbread was so awful, the only conclusion I could come to was that the recipe will only bake in a gas oven (Mum had electric)....so I had to own up and forgive Mum and tell her it wasn't her fault lol.

I used Craft Artist to create the layout and the kit called Festive Cookies is from Daisy Trail.
