Gingerbread Landscape with Rosemary Trees

Your mother may have told you not to play with your food, but she probably never saw this snowy, gingerbread landscape. Inspired by Nigella Lawson’s serving suggestions for her Guinness Gingerbread, these peaks and valleys of cinnamon, ginger, and brown sugar goodness are a perfect winter wonderland when dotted with fresh rosemary pine trees, sprinkled with powdered sugar snow, and bedecked with tiny winter wanderers (we got ours from World Market, but the sky’s the limit–try plastic animal figurines, tiny Santas, miniature sleighs, etc.). Children and adults alike will enjoy helping to make and eat this festive, holiday treat. And of course, you should feel free to use whatever gingerbread recipe you like! Happy baking.
