Veronica's Victorian Gingerbread Santa
I found this while looking through old pictures! I decorated this Gingerbread Victorian Santa around 1989 for a cookie decorating contest that never happened. (Go figure!) I enjoyed doing it anyway. The bow and roses that frame Santa were formed by hand out of gumpaste. Very time consuming to form each little petal! The cookie part was flat but the decorations were 3 dimensional. I used "petal dust" to paint the face and for shadowing on his coat and sack of oranges.
