These gingerbread biscuits are great to make with kids and also make for the perfect stocking fillers.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and Lyle's golden syrup and combine.
Add all other ingredients and mix together on low speed until well combined.
Split dough in half and shape each half into a disc.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 1 hour, or fridge for 2 hours.
Once you are ready to bake the biscuits, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Remove the dough discs from the fridge or freezer and unwrap. If using frozen dough, allow to thaw in the fridge for an hour or so.
Roll the dough out until it is about 3-4mm thick. If the dough is too hard to roll out, leave it sitting for 10 minutes or so and then try again.
Using Christmas biscuits cutters, or whatever shapes you want to, cut out the biscuits and lay them on a lined baking tray. Re-roll any scraps of dough to make more biscuits.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, checking them at 12 minutes, until they are looking golden brown.
They will harden slightly as they cool, but if you prefer a crispier cookie, bake them for a couple of minutes longer.
Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

Forget the cherry, there`s much better things you can pop on top of a cake these days!
Things like these personalised fondant cupcake decorations - an ideal way to turn your baking gifts up a notch.
Just follow the steps from @elliebakess to make your own...
Step 1: Dust your surface in icing sugar, I used @tateandlylesugars as this icing sugar
ensures your fondant doesn’t stick to the surface or your hands! (It’s also great for use
in everyday baking such as in buttercream or glace icing)
Step 2: Take your fondant icing and add a few drops of food colouring. Mix this
together with your hands until you have achieved your desired colour - I like to mix
until I get a marble effect.
Step 3: Take an outbosser stamp of your choice and firmly press this onto the fondant
icing. A rolling pin helps with this too.
Step 4: Carefully peel the fondant icing away from the stamp and use a cookie cutter
to cut it out into your desired shape - circles always work well for cupcake toppers.
Step 5: Paint the raised text in any colour (You can use edible paint for this or mix
lustre dust and alcohol to create your own) Enjoy!

500g Tate & Lyle Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
1tsp Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Splash of milk (if needed)
Mix the butter on medium speed for 5-10 minutes! (This is the most important part) the butter should go from pale yellow in colour to pale white
Add in your icing sugar a few tablespoons at a time. Add this gradually until all is combined.
Add in your vanilla extract and pinch of salt
If your buttercream is too stiff add in a splash of milk (only a little as you will not need much!)
TOP TIPS:
Make sure your butter is softened! You can do this in 10 second bursts in the microwave
Add splashes of milk if it’s too stiff

We could have just popped some strawberries and cream in a bowl for Wimbledon... but that would have been too easy!
So instead, we thought we`d introduce you all to Syllabub - an old favourite from the 16th century! Made by curdling sweet cream or milk with an acid such as wine or cider, it`s like a sweet, sophisticated trifle.
Especially if you make it with Pimms like we have...
Serves 4
Ingredients:
200 g strawberries
100 ml Pimms
1 lemon
1 orange
For the Syllabub:
300 ml double cream
4 tbsps Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Cane Icing Sugar
Method:
1. Chop your strawberries into quarters and put into a large bowl, add the Pimms and juice of the lemon and orange to the bowl. Cover and chill preferably overnight at a minimum.
2 Take your strawberries and Pimms out of the fridge and spoon into trifle glasses.
3. Whisk your double and cream and icing sugar until it holds its shape but is still spoonable.
4. Top your trifle glasses with the cream mixture and pop some strawberries on top to garnish if you fancy. Best enjoyed on a summer afternoon with the match on the tv!
