Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. Gingerbread
Melt butter, Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar, Chelsea Golden Syrup and Chelsea Blackstrap Molasses. Fold in dry ingredients to form a stiff dough. Roll out to 2 to 3 mm sheets between two pieces of baking paper. Leave it on the bottom one to bake.
Pre-cut pieces and bake for around 9 min at 180°C, turning in oven halfway through cooking.
Recut as soon as it comes out of the oven before it cools.
Caramel : Add a small amount of water to Chelsea White Sugar in a pot and bring to boil. Stir regularly to prevent from sticking to the pot or burning.
Royal Icing : Mix the egg whites with Chelsea Pure Decorating Icing Sugar in a mixer to a smooth consistency.
Buttercream : Beat butter, Chelsea Icing Sugar and vanilla essence together; add cinnamon to taste.
Florentine : Mix all ingredients, minus the chocolate. Spread/shape and bake for 10 minutes or until cooked.
Once baked, set aside to cool.  Coat the backs with chocolate once cooled.
How to assemble: : Use the caramel to glue the pieces together and pipe on the royal icing.
