\"legoHave you ever started something and then half way through wished that you hadn’t. \u00a0That is how I felt about these biscuits. \u00a0But the kids were so excited about them that I could not abort the mission. \u00a0(Don’t let that put you off making them, perhaps just don’t attempt it if you are sleep deprived with a cute newborn in the house).<\/p>\n

To make them you will need a LEGO\u00ae man cutter – I got mine online, gingerbread dough and royal icing – recipes here.<\/a> You will also need lots of ziplock bags, food colouring and a spare afternoon.<\/p>\n

Firstly make your gingerbread men. \u00a0You may need to adjust the head shape according to who you are making. \u00a0Just add some extra dough for helmets, ninjago masks, sensei woo’s hat etc.<\/p>\n

Next work out how many different colours you need and get out a bowl for each one. \u00a0Make up a batch of royal icing, split it between the bowls and color accordingly. \u00a0 I used the gel colours that you get from cake decorating stores.<\/p>\n

Put each colour into a ziplock bag. \u00a0Cut off the corner of the bag and outline each biscuit. \u00a0 Allow to dry.<\/p>\n

Tip: If I was making these again I would do some of the outlines in black rather than in the colour. \u00a0Otherwise when you flood fill you lose some of the detail (the storm trooper is a good example of this).<\/p>\n

Next water down each colour until it is the consistency of a macdonalds thick shake. \u00a0Flood fill the sections as shown in the video below. \u00a0Note if you want to pipe more details on when the flood fill is dry you will need to put some of the icing in a separate bag \u00a0before watering it down.<\/p>\n
