Prepare 500 g FunCakes Mix for Cookies as indicated on the packaging. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C).
Remove the dough from the fridge, knead it briefly until smooth, and roll it out on a floured work surface to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Cut out shapes and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool flat on the countertop.
Warm a jar of apricot jam briefly in the microwave and strain it to make apricot glaze.
Knead the desired colours of FunCakes Sugar Paste until smooth and roll them out to a thickness of 2 mm. Cut out shapes and attach them to the cookies with a little apricot glaze.
For the Christmas trees, lightly brush the sugar paste with water using a large flat brush. Sprinkle white sugar pearls on top and let them dry. For the Christmas stars, use a Katy Sue mould to create poinsettias. Layer them with edible glue and attach the flowers to the cookies with apricot glaze.
For the gingerbread sugar paste men, use the back of a brush to make two small holes and insert black sugar pearls. Create scarves from white fondant, add texture with a knife or tool, and attach them to the men using edible glue.
