My "kitchen tree" (a 30" tall tree) has many cinnamon "gingerbread men" (and ladies) along with other kitchen-related ornaments. We used this recipe, and placed whole cloves for eyes and buttons before baking. Once dried, we decorated them with white fabric paint to outline them, give them pants, fancy skirts, etc. They get stored in between layers of tissue paper in a cookie tin, and they've held up for several years, and still have a good amount of scent left in them.

That's a great idea with using the fabric paint and the cloves! The paint that comes in the little squirt bottles would look just like icing... :-)

It does. It makes them less non-toxic, but it worked like a charm ;o)
