With a great deal of effort, Ivana Bennett finally kneaded the rebellious dough by hand into a smooth lump.
"Alright, you can now take a break. The dough needs to be chilled in the refrigerator for a while. This will make the gingerbread crunchier!" the maid smiled as she passed Ivana the gingerbread she had baked earlier. "You can first learn how to decorate the gingerbread."
The maid carefully taught her how to pipe icing, and Ivana took the piping bag to give it a try.
Having originally come from an artistic background, this part was not too difficult for her.
After mastering the initial techniques, she gradually got the hang of it, and soon, she beautifully decorated a large bowl of gingerbread.
White snowflakes, green Christmas trees, white and pink stockings...
In the end, she simply allowed her creativity to flow, drawing all kinds of patterns on the small cakes.
By the time she finished decorating the gingerbread, her dough was also ready.
