Gingerbread Christmas trees

This idea I found in last weeks Lucky Break magazine. Except they use white icing and those edible silver balls that I forget the name of. I had found an easy gingerbread cookie recipe online and then coloured the trees using red and green icing. The major problem I had was battling the heat as the dough was too crumbly (added more butter and then popped them in the fridge) and then the icing wouldn't set and my trees keep falling over...lol. But I'm please with the final result. I never used to taste my baking but after watching soooo many cooking shows I understand how important this step really is.

Bucannon's class and teachers really liked them.
