Who doesn't like gingerbread men? They are very yummy and also cute. We made these before Christmas because I wanted to give one to our completely overworked secretary at work to go with a vat of mulled wine. I contemplated decorating one to look like a 'colleague' (I qualify that advisedly) I particularly loathe and then feeding its head to the doglet. But said person is more 'shapeless', shall we say, than a gingerbread man, so I resisted. I could have done it with the left over blob of dough quite accurately, but that was too mean even for me. So I decorated them to look like a group of genial librarians and found it all a very soothing process. The doglet went c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.l.y. wild for them once cooked -- I've never seen anything like it. Everytime we got the box out, she'd tear over to us, elbowing cushions, computers, books and indeed humans out of her path of greed and munch them up quick sharp (or as quickly as she is able, given that her style is similar to a toothless old man), following each with at least 10 jowl licks.
