Steps:
- Put the sugar, syrup, butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan set over a medium heat and bubble for 1-2 mins, stirring to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside. Tip the flour, bicarb and spices into a large bowl, pour over the warm syrup mixture and egg, stirring to combine. The dough will seem soft, but will firm up in the fridge. Cover and chill for at least 30 mins, or overnight. Will keep wrapped in the freezer for up to two months.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Dust the work surface with a little flour and divide the dough into two large balls. Roll each ball out to the thickness of a £1 coin and use the downloadable template to cut out the train parts A-D. You will need two A pieces, one B piece, two C pieces and three D pieces, plus 10 small wheels (about 2cm in diameter) and two larger wheels (about 4cm in diameter). Use biscuit cutters or the wide end of a piping nozzle to stamp out the wheels. Use what remains for gingerbread stars or people, if you like. Transfer all the pieces to the prepared trays.
- Bake for 10-12 mins, swapping the trays around halfway through, until slightly risen and golden brown. The gingerbread will expand as it bakes, so trim back into shape while still warm using a small sharp knife and the templates again. Leave to cool completely on the trays.
- For the decorations, mix the icing sugar with just enough water to make a thick icing the consistency of melted chocolate. Spoon into a piping bag and snip off the end, then draw windows on the A pieces, spokes on the wheel pieces and any other decorations you like, adding the sprinkles and balls while the icing is still wet.
- To assemble the driver’s carriage, use the icing to glue the two A pieces to the B piece (for the taller back of the carriage), then glue one of the D pieces to the front. For the second carriage glue the two C pieces together with two D pieces. Use cans to support the sides while the icing sets, if needed (at least 30 mins). Glue three small wheels to both sides of the second carriage. Glue one large wheel at the back of the driver’s carriage, on both sides, then two small ones beside those. Leave to set for another 30 mins.
- Use any leftover icing to decorate the train, sticking sprinkles and silver balls to its sides. Leave to set for a final 30 mins, then fill the carriages with the wrapped sweets. The assembled train will keep in an airtight cake tin or on display (covered overnight to protect from dust) for up to four weeks.

- Using the icing, stick sweets around the door and on the front of the house. To make the icicles, start with the nozzle at a 90-degree angle to the roof and squeeze out a pea-sized blob of icing. Keeping the pressure on, pull the nozzle down and then off – the icing will pull away, leaving a pointy trail. Repeat all around the front of the house. Cut the chocolate mini roll or dipped Flake on an angle, then fix with icing to make a chimney. Pipe a little icing around the top. If you’ve made gingerbread trees, decorate these now, too, topping each with a silver ball, if using. Dust the roof with icing sugar for a snowy effect. Lay a winding path of sweets, and fix gingerbread trees around and about using blobs of icing. Your gingerbread house will be edible for about a week.

HOW TO MAKE A GINGERBREAD HOUSE - NYT COOKING
From cooking.nytimes.com
- Once the house is standing, the real fun begins. Here are two possible looks for your house: One is a romantic, snowy scene, with natural decorations like sliced almonds and shredded coconut, and the other is bright and bold, with candy canes, gumdrops, confetti sprinkles and hard candy. Follow one or the other, combine elements of each, or wing it and make your own.For this house, edible silver glitter, nonpareils, flaked sweetened coconut, pretzel rods, sliced almonds, shredded wheat, mini marshmallows and chocolate clusters would make for elegant decorations. If you want to make the whole thing to look a bit more Nordic, add some icicles. Use decorating icing to pipe a pea-sized blob onto the surface, leaving the tip in place. Then, without squeezing, quickly pull the tip away and up to make a pointy spike of icing. It becomes easier with practice. FOR THE DOORS AND WINDOWS • Decorate the door with a white border and a diamond-shaped window. • Use a mini marshmallow as a doorknob. • Pipe white window frames and panes, or a snowflake above each window. FOR THE ROOF • Pipe on gables, bricks or tiles. • For a thatched roof, use shredded wheat to make shingles. • Stick on nonpareils for a rustic look. • Dust silver glitter or confectioners’ sugar on top for fresh snow. FOR THE WALKWAY • Sketch out a curved path to the front door. • Cover the path in royal icing, and pave it with Tootsie Rolls or sliced almonds. • Line the walkway on each side with marshmallows or chocolate clusters. FOR THE LANDSCAPING • Flood the area around the house with runny icing to make a smooth coat of snow, or use coconut sprinkled on top of a layer of royal icing to make a thicker sheet of snow. • The trimmed gingerbread edges can be arranged as a wall around the yard. • The sticks of green rock candy can be trimmed down to make trees. • Fresh sprigs of pine, holly or rosemary can be tucked around the base of the house or piled to look like bushes. • Stack a log pile by the side of the house, using broken pretzel rods or whole cinnamon sticks. Glue the logs together (and make it look snowy) with royal icing.Nonpareils, sugarcoated gumdrops, mini candy canes, round red-and-white peppermints, confetti sprinkles, Gummi Bears, gumballs, cinnamon candies, Chiclets and red licorice are great options for a colorful home. Use mini candy canes, placed facing each other, to make a heart shape on the walls. You’ll want also to use food coloring to tint batches of royal icing, making a true red and a dark leaf green (like a holly sprig). But for the most vibrant results, use gel coloring. FOR THE DOORS AND WINDOWS • Decorate the door with a white border and a diamond-shaped window, then add a piped green wreath with red holly berries. • Stick on a small red candy as a doorknob. • Pipe white window frames and panes, then add green shutters. • Pipe green garlands or white snowflakes over each window. FOR THE ROOF • Stick Chiclets or Twizzlers snipped into pieces to look like bricks, or make green or red shingles by cutting sticks of chewing gum into small, moldable rectangles. FOR THE WALKWAY • Sketch out a curved path to the front door. Cover the path in royal icing, and pave it with cinnamon candies or confetti sprinkles. • Line each side with green gumballs or round peppermint candies. FOR THE LANDSCAPING • Flood the area around the house with runny icing to make a smooth coat of snow. • Cluster a family of Gummi Bears near the door. • Make bushes out of green gumdrops.
