INGREDIENTS
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 150g dark muscovado sugar
  • 100g golden syrup
  • 350g plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 medium egg
  • White writing icing
  • Cake Angels Sweetie Pie Sprinkles
  • Cake Angels Winter Wonderland Santa
  • Cake Angels Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree
  • Icing sugar (for decoration)

BAKING EQUIPMENT
  • Heat proof bowl & saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Clingfilm
  • 2 large baking trays
  • Grease proof paper
  • 1 rolling pin
  • Star cookie cutters ranging in size from large to small
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Cake stand or a pretty plate

STEPS

  1. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup together in a medium saucepan on a low temperature. Now turn the heat up to medium and leave the mixture to bubble for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground ginger and cinnamon. 
  3. Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and crack in the egg. Mix everything together with a wooden spoon until it comes together to form a dough. 
  4. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
  5. Meanwhile, line two large baking trays with grease proof paper and preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
  6. Lightly dust a worktop and rolling pin with flour. Roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use different sized star cookies cutters to stamp out shapes. You’ll want roughly 15 stars in total ranging in size.  
  7. Carefully place the stars onto the baking trays and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
  8. Outline each gingerbread star with white writing icing and decorate the smallest star with sprinkles.
  9. Lightly dust a pretty plate or cake stand with icing sugar. Stack the gingerbread stars from big to small and use the icing to stick the smallest star upright on top of the Christmas tree. 
  10. Decorate the tips of the stars with the sprinkles and decorations, and place the cake toppers around the base of the Christmas tree.
