Masked Gingerbread people
Wednesday, December 23, 2020
This year, it felt appropriate to put masks on my gingerbread people. Don't panic though, they still taste great!
Gingerbread people are happy people, even when masked up!
Nothing says Christmas more than gingerbread and these gingerbread people are super easy to make and taste great too! I masked mine as I am taking my social distancing very seriously!
