Biscuits

I know what you’re thinking. I’ve seen these biscuits before. You would be right. I made similar ones a couple of years ago when we had a ‘Christmas Jumper Party’. I tweeted about them last week and Beyond Retro got in touch about having them at their Christmas Launch Party. I was of course really excited as I love Beyond Retro.

I was discussing Christmas baking ideas with my friend Steve (you can see the birthday cake I made him here!) and thought it would be funny if someone made him and his dog Bai into gingerbread men…ta da!
