Top of our Christmas-themed requests have been edible gifts. So we asked Fleur Mike to take on a pretty difficult challenge this week: making a full-on gingerbread house. • It turned out be quite a bit harder than it looked! So if you're thinking of having a go, definitely watch the video first. • Continuing the edible gift theme, Fleur also makes gingerbread versions of her adorable miniature dachshund Piglet, while Mike goes for the more traditional gingerbread man. These are great as gifts or tree decorations. • Find a link to the house kit and the recipe instructions below. • Have you made edible gifts for Christmas, or any other special occasion?
