Oh my life, I have found my perfect gingerbread man on this site:- http://www.fancyflours.com/site/4200-HS-WGM-1.html - he's 1.5 ins wide x 2ins tall - BUT - he comes from USA, costs $19 (about £12.22) plus p & p and is currently out of stock!  So in the words of The Apprentice - FiddleFarts search to find her perfect gingerbread man continues .....

Santa’s Plate

I’ve just used an old white tea plate and some ceramic painter pens to make this plate for putting Santa’s mince pies on, on Christmas Eve. The pens are very easy to use.

They cost about £3.00 each from HobbyCraft.

The design was baked in the oven at 160c /325f for 40 minutes.
