When I saw a mini Christmas Tree made out of gingerbread I just had to try one for myself. It looked so regal and festive on the glossy pages of the magazine. I pictured the finished product, my 3D Gingerbread Christmas Tree standing tall and impressive in the middle of the table.
And then I tried the magazine recipe. And it sucked. The gingerbread recipe was dry and crumbly. I tried to fix it but I could tell it wasn’t going to work from the texture. And there was no way it would yield enough dough to make the tree. I got so mad!
Being frustrated with recipes shared by big publishers is why I started to blog my favourite recipes instead. I was so tired of seeing beautifully styled and immaculately presented food in the magazine, only to find it was a huge letdown in real life.
Finding the best baking recipes for Christmas and other important events is so important. As home bakers we’re often rushed for time and can’t afford to offer to make a dish for a get-together, only to find out it sucks at the last minute.
That’s why I’ve reworked this 3D Gingerbread Christmas Tree recipe from scratch. I’ve used the gingerbread recipe I’ve made before and know is tasty and reliable. It’s the same one from these Gingerbread Christmas Cookies. I also used my own Royal Icing recipe, the same as the one used in the Unicorn Cookies.
I’ve also tried to include as much helpful information as I could in the step-by-step 3D Gingerbread Christmas Tree guide. Magazines have limited publishing space, but not us!
And lastly, I have an eight-minute, narrated step-by-step video tutorial on how to create this Gingerbread Tree Centerpiece to watch below.
My extra tips would be to give yourself one full day to create the tree, and get someone to help you put it together at the end. It’s way too hard to try assembling the tree by yourself. Trust me. I tried!
