Preheat oven to 170°C (340F) with fan. Place silicon moulds onto two baking trays.

-
Reduce speed to ‘folding’ and add flour; increase speed to ‘light mixing’ and mix until mixture just forms thick dough.
-
Using your hands press gingerbread together to make a ball. Cut ball into portions so you have enough dough for each section and press into moulds, smooth tops.
-
Bake in oven for about 20-22 minutes swapping trays halfway through cooking until firm to touch. Gingerbread will become firmer on cooling.
-
Cool for 5 minutes in mould before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, decorate as directed in Ann’s video. Preparation time will depend on the individual’s skill level so allow several hours.
