It’s the time of the year for reindeer cupcakes and gingerbread man. This year, I’m bringing sexy back. I had a lot of fun designing these gingerbread men and women. Initially, I started off with the traditional designs but slowly it got evolved into a swimsuit collection. Definitely a great way to engage kids into designing their very own gingerbread man.
