I’m going to try to make a vegan version of this! :)

Melissa Santucci

Does anyone know of any candy melts that don't have palm products in them? Thanks!

i use earth balance plant "butter" in a cake a few days ago and it is fine. I bake with margarine as my preference to be honest in everything. I have never noticed a difference other than it being a consistency when baked that I like better. I prefer it in icing as well but it is much softer than using butter I found. I am not sure how well it will work in royal icing

Lara Relyea

Thank you for sharing the supply list. Does plant butter work just as good as butter butter?

MichelleShari

so I wasnt able to find modelling chocolate but the recipe from Christine's book is 2 cups candy melts chips and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. You want to get candy melts vs choc vs chocolate chips.heat to 110 degrees, and stir until it forms a ball. Seal tightly until cooled then break off what you need. I got the candy melts from amazon in black and white.

Thank you Sarah Kane, I read the comments to see if anyone shared a vegan recipe.😊

Oh and for large gingerbread men I generally bake for 4 minutes at 180 c then turn and bake for another 4 minutes but just keep an eye on them

Sarah Kane

Ok so ingredients: 1 1/2 cups icing sugar 1 cup dairy free margarine/baking spread (I use stork) 1/4 non dairy milk 1tsp vanilla 1tsp cinnamon 1tsp mixed spice 2tsp ginger 2 1/2 cups plain flour 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp baking soda 1tsp cream of tartar Beat together spread, sugar, milk and vanilla Mix in the dry ingredients Chill overnight or for 2-3 hours at least I'm going to be making my dough ahead of time because it's much easier to work with if it's chilled overnight because it's very soft. I think I'll leave out the baking soda if there's none in Christine's recipe just to make sure it doesn't puff up too much. I might also ad a couple of tbsp of treacle for colour because my cookies are quite pale in colour if you want to do that I would advise adding it before during the first step.

Micheline

Thank you for doing this! So excited have all my ingredients ready to go🤗🥣It’s my birthday Sunday so instead of a cake I’m considering these special bday cookies. The hubs will be home to watch and help too🥰

Michael McGinnis

Would love this vegan recipe too if you don’t mind!! My partner is vegan and I don’t want him to be left out 😝

Channon Rose

That would be so kind of you. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤗

Sarah Kane

I can send you my gingerbread recipe tomorrow when I get into work 😁 it's a super simple recipe and I've used it to make simple gingerbread houses so it should work fine, I might leave out the baking soda tho so it doesn't puff up too much.

Jessica Fisher

I added more than listed but it gets lost still. And that doesn't affect the texture

Jamie Joy

Dark Corn Syrup

Jamie Joy

add more spice

Jamie Joy

Steen's Cane Syrup

Alexander Albanese

Is there a link for anyone late to the live baking party? (asking for a friend, of course)

Lynn Weingarden-Marston

This is a great idea! I just got back from the shops with what I needed. CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Elizabeth Dale

I was hopibg to join along with the live stream, but it seems we will be travelling that day. Ill have to do it later

Lindsey

My husband and I will be in Tennessee visiting family. Fingers crossed the Internet connection there can handle this. If not I’ll be trying it the following week.

Jessica Fisher

Just made cookies using this recipie and the texture isn't very good...its actually quite dense. And the ginherbread flavor doesn't pack a punch the way I like...how can I fix this?

Anjanette Deason

Woo-hoo! I'll be gathering supplies for this one. A bake-along is a wonderful idea.

Erin Rabideau

I am also a pastry chef!!! YAY. and its the molasses itself Im allergic to. Ginger, nutmeg, allspice etc im all fine with all of those. Yeah I have weird allergies... molasses, dill and cephlapods lol

Channon Rose

Does anyone know any good alternatives for us vegans? I plan to use earth balance butter which is plant based but not sure if flaxseed meal and water will suffice for an egg replacement for this project?

Lisa Wolf

what is it you're allergic to? I'm a pastry chef who specialized in 'allergen-free' baking for a while and maybe I can help you out? I've honestly never heard of someone allergic to molasses and I'm intrigued to see if I can help you find substitutions! xo

Mandy Spitzer

We’re making cookies or a house? 😻

Erin Rabideau

I am excited to watch this ! :) I did have a question though for follow along, for someone who is allergic to Grandmas molasses but loves the taste, what are some substitutions (even faux flavorings) that one could use in lieu of molasses to get a similar earthy distinct taste that molasses gives? Just curious. Thanks and look forward to watching the stream!

Victoria Ruiz

i'm SO excited for this! i've always wanted to watch you do this step by step. can't wait to get baking with everyone 😋

Dawn Hargy-Louden

I'm so excited!!

Terri Bentley

The Country Crock Almond Oil butter is EXCELLENT! Highly recommend it!

Christie

So is it white sculpting chocolate we need?

Jessica

I've been so excited for this since you told us about it!!! CAN NOT WAIT!! My family is all aware that I am unavailable next sunday🤣

Jess Acton

Excited about this! Does anyone have a good tried and tested vegan gingerbread recipe I could use instead?

Chris Cornett

Oh, that is awesome! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly - I know you are very busy.

Christine McConnell

You have just given me a GREAT idea!!!

Christine McConnell

Hello! This makes quite a few! I would estimate around 24 depending on the size of your cookies! and they are for both decoration AND eating! :D

Christine McConnell

Hello Chris!! They were all shipped this week and are on their way to you :D

Amber Arden

I will definitely attempt to bake along! How exciting!

melissa

She owns stock in royal icing. Lol

Chris Cornett

Has anyone else in Tier 4 or above received their yearly Christmas gift this month? I sent her a DM earlier, but I don't think she will get a chance to respond. I know she's busy right now, but I don't know what the status is. Thanks!

cassandra staples

I have everything but the modeling chocolate :) Going to find some now!

Delaney Drake

I am so excited for this! I've already told the family, so they are fully prepped to stay out of the kitchen! Lol I did have a few questions. How many cookies does this recipe make? And is it for decorations or for eating?

Alexa Z.

Do we get the videos this month too?

Christa

I'm so excited for this! I'm ordering all the items I don't have right now. My sister-in-law passed away over the summer and she was a crazy talented baker. I have a lot of her tools now. This will be like I'm baking with her. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
