Gingerbread... things
Gingerbread DoctorsToday [info]pnr came over, and we made gingerbread cookies. On the left is a little teaser.

But first we made a couple of more gingerbread cutters, because I didn't really have enough cutters already.

If you click the images below, they grow bigger!



(I sort of collect them. Can you tell?)

The ones I lacked were, of course, these:



Well, nothing that a pair of pliers couldn't fix! The little fellow on the right is the one I made the other day, from a sheep. The K-9 used to be a pig. Here you can see the originals and their new guises:




Not the TARDIS, however, since it always was a TARDIS, its chameleon circuit just disguised it as a coke bottle for a while. (I.e., I didn't have a double of the original cutter.)

Anyway, I had made lots and lots and lots of gingerbread dough the evening before (I kind of forgot to check the amounts before I started, so now I have gingerbread dough to last me until summer.) Everyone seems to have their own family recipe of gingerbread dough; this one came from my friend K's great-great-grandmother.

A baking sheet full of newly baked gingerbread cookies, fresh from the oven:




But of course, they needed some decorations, too.




Two Doctors -- we only made two humanoid figures, for some reason, so I could only make two. Here they are. Can you tell which ones? :) I added two hearts to the second figure, just in case there was any doubt about his species.




Oh noes!




And just as a bonus, a couple of  gingerbread icons, snaggable with credit to [info]therru:

 

(A few more can be found in my icon album.)

Ooooh, how FAB are those! Fantastic!

On a separate note, are your icons borrowable? I've been looking for a Five icon with Older Five, and your marvellous ones are... um... marvellous!

Thanks! :)

And all the icons in my icon album are snaggable, with credit to me, of course! :) Feel free to browse through them all. I would have used one of those "marvellous" ones myself, but I've kind of grown short on icon space... ^^

OMG THE AM I GINGER ICON. GENIUS.

I also love love love that the Dalek cookies have edible ball bearings on them. I personally think that's one of Ten's more endearing moments. (Plus an awesome Ten/Rose moment.)

Thanks! :)

And some of the ball bearings are gold. I haven't decided yet if that means we have two warring Dalek factions.

Oh, dude, I am so snagging the "am I ginger" icon! Also the "human child" one of Nine, and I may be back for more.

Your cookies are *way* cool. I'm gonna have to mutilate some boring cutters with pliers myself one of these days. And the frosting jobs are great.

Your cutter-hacking, your wonderful end result, and of course the "am I ginger?" gag are all too fantastic for words. ^_^

It's mine, actually, and yes, you may snag it, with credit to [info]therru! :) (I think [info]purlewe found it in my icon album, linked above.)

ahahahaa I love them. I thought the Doctors were Four and Six at first, because I thought the heart was a lapel pin, but on closer examination it must be Ten. XD The K9 and Dalek are marvelous. I can't believe the BBC doesn't sell stuff like this already. XD

Oh wow! You've done an awesome job with these.
Taking the 'Am I ginger?' Icon, for it is hilarious.


Was it difficult to make the straight lines out of once round cookie cutters?
I'm thinking that If I tried this my Tardis would still have bends in it from whatever cookie shape it used to be. Hella impressive.

It's adorable how big Cookie!Four's grin is - just like Tom's.

Thanks! :)

Yes, I thought, "give him big eyes and a huge grin", and I'm amazed at how good the likeness turned out! Much better than Ten. The Scarf helps, of course.

Layer upon layer of fab! Ginger icon and ball-bearings especially. Nice Frankenstiening of the cookie cutters, too.

I keep meaning to post pictures of the gingerbread TARDIS my roommate and I made using your model. It's definitely not as nicely done as yours, but it's cute.

These are adorable. I seriously need to make my own cookie cutters. And edible ball bearings! I cannot find them anywhere. :( (They're illegal in California, but I moved to Oregon and was hoping I'd be able to find them. I'll have to look up legal stuff.)

I'm seriously glad I wasn't drinking anything when I saw the "Am I..Ginger?" icon, because I'd have to clean my computer screen right now. Bravo!
