Steps:
- Make the gingerbread: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, molasses, water, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Melt over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter until completely melted and the mixture is glossy. Let cool completely.
- Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed to combine for 30 seconds. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, make your templates for the train pieces. The gingerbread will fit snugly over your mechanical train. Find template here: https://tasty.co/article/tasty/gingerbread-train-template
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ⅛ inch thick. Cut out the shapes from the template. Transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes, until the shapes are stiff to the touch. Let the shapes cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- While the gingerbread is cooling, make the royal icing: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water. Mix on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until no lumps remain and mixture is shiny and glossy.
- Transfer ¼ of the icing to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. This will be the icing to decorate the outside of the train.
- Add the brown food coloring to the remaining icing in the mixer and mix until homogenous in color.
- Using the brown icing, assemble the train pieces according to the template. Let dry for at least 2 hours.
- Once all 5 pieces of the train have dried, use the white icing to decorate the train as desired. Let the icing set until hardened.
- Gently slide decorated gingerbread pieces over the cars of the mechanical train and place on the track.
- Fill the cargo cars with the gum drops, peppermints, and truffles.
- Enjoy!
GINGERBREAD FOR A GINGERBREAD HOUSE
This dough is sturdy enough to hold up to the weight of all the candy decorations on a gingerbread house, and it tastes good, too. The recipe makes enough for a 6-by-7-inch house. How you adorn it is up to you!

Steps:
- Make the gingerbread dough: Sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the egg, molasses and vanilla and beat on medium until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sifted flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined into a smooth dough, about 1 minute. Form the dough into a flat square, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until just firm, about 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Meanwhile, make templates for a gingerbread house. Gather several sheets of stiff paper; a manila folder works well. For the wall panels, cut a rectangle that measures 4 by 7 inches. For the front and back panels of a house with a peaked roof, cut a template that is 6 inches wide at the base, 4 inches to the roofline and 4 1/2 inches slanted to a peak. The template for the roof panels should measure 4 1/2 by 8 inches.
- Roll and cut the gingerbread: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap the dough and cut into 3 equal pieces (a pizza wheel is handy for this). Working with one piece of dough at a time and keeping the other pieces refrigerated, roll the dough into a rectangle 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Using the templates, cut out the front and back of the house and remove the scraps around the cutouts. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, cutting out 2 roof pieces and 2 side pieces. (If the dough gets too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes before proceeding.) Discard the dough scraps or reroll to make cookies. Chill the dough pieces on the baking sheets for 15 minutes.
- Bake the gingerbread: Bake the dough pieces until crisp almost all the way through (the very center will still be a little soft), 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the pans 10 minutes on a rack, then remove the house pieces to the rack to cool completely. Assemble and decorate the gingerbread panels as desired.
GINGERBREAD TRAIN - WORKS WELL WITH A GINGERBREAD HOUSE.
This is a great gift idea, fairly simple to make and loads of fun to decorate! You can paint on letters on each carriage to form a name or just do an extra long train to have at a birthday party. Great addition to gingerbread house(s) to make a whole gingerbread village! **I use self-raising flour for this as it makes a more "bubble-like" 3D train but you can use plain.** THIS RECIPE MAKES GOOEY GINGERBREAD not hard!** This will make a very long train!!

Steps:
- Melt the butter, add golden syrup and 2 drops of vanilla.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and egg.
- Add the flour, seived, bit by bit. When it starts to become a very stiff mixture you may find it easier to use your hands. Keep adding flour until the dough is ready to be handled.
- Sprinkle flour over your work space and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut out your train shape. (Tip: draw onnto card and use as template) you do't need to add wheels so a smaller rectangle on top of another rectacle is sufficient.
- Cut out your carriages.
- Bake these on a greased tray with space in between as they will expand. Bake for approx 10 minutes. Until edges are golden. Remove and cool on wire rack.
- Make thick icing and spread along your plate/tray/serving platter. This will hold the train in place.
- Place the train into the icing and add the wine gums for wheels.
- Prepare 3 smaller amounts of icing in seperate bowls, with a lighter consistancy and add colorings.This is for decorating the tops of your carriages with cargo, or adding icing letters.
- Decorate the train, platter, icing etc however you like with spinkles, silver balls etc.

Steps:
- Put the sugar, syrup, butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan set over a medium heat and bubble for 1-2 mins, stirring to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside. Tip the flour, bicarb and spices into a large bowl, pour over the warm syrup mixture and egg, stirring to combine. The dough will seem soft, but will firm up in the fridge. Cover and chill for at least 30 mins, or overnight. Will keep wrapped in the freezer for up to two months.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Dust the work surface with a little flour and divide the dough into two large balls. Roll each ball out to the thickness of a £1 coin and use the downloadable template to cut out the train parts A-D. You will need two A pieces, one B piece, two C pieces and three D pieces, plus 10 small wheels (about 2cm in diameter) and two larger wheels (about 4cm in diameter). Use biscuit cutters or the wide end of a piping nozzle to stamp out the wheels. Use what remains for gingerbread stars or people, if you like. Transfer all the pieces to the prepared trays.
- Bake for 10-12 mins, swapping the trays around halfway through, until slightly risen and golden brown. The gingerbread will expand as it bakes, so trim back into shape while still warm using a small sharp knife and the templates again. Leave to cool completely on the trays.
- For the decorations, mix the icing sugar with just enough water to make a thick icing the consistency of melted chocolate. Spoon into a piping bag and snip off the end, then draw windows on the A pieces, spokes on the wheel pieces and any other decorations you like, adding the sprinkles and balls while the icing is still wet.
- To assemble the driver's carriage, use the icing to glue the two A pieces to the B piece (for the taller back of the carriage), then glue one of the D pieces to the front. For the second carriage glue the two C pieces together with two D pieces. Use cans to support the sides while the icing sets, if needed (at least 30 mins). Glue three small wheels to both sides of the second carriage. Glue one large wheel at the back of the driver's carriage, on both sides, then two small ones beside those. Leave to set for another 30 mins.
- Use any leftover icing to decorate the train, sticking sprinkles and silver balls to its sides. Leave to set for a final 30 mins, then fill the carriages with the wrapped sweets. The assembled train will keep in an airtight cake tin or on display (covered overnight to protect from dust) for up to four weeks.
