Gingerbread Harbor Tugboats on Display Trays
Harbor tugboats are sturdy vessels built to maneuver large ships through busy port waters. Recreating a tugboat out of gingerbread requires shaping a thick hull and adding a compact wheelhouse on top. Displaying the baked boat on a tray lined with white icing creates the impression of a ship resting on icy harbor water.
Facts About Tugboats and Nautical Displays
Despite their small size relative to cargo ships, tugboats possess extremely powerful engines designed for pushing and pulling heavy vessels. Maritime-themed gingerbread creations are popular in coastal ports during holiday bakery exhibitions. The rounded bow of a tugboat requires careful trimming of gingerbread slabs before baking.
