Finishing a Gingerbread Heart with Powdered Sugar
Dusting sweet confections with finely ground sugar provides a snowy finish to freshly baked holiday gingerbread treats. Kitchen counters serve as the central work station where bakers apply sweet toppings to decorative heart-shaped cookies.
History and Craft of Gingerbread Hearts
Heart-shaped gingerbread confections have a long tradition in European folk festivals and traditional holiday markets. Fine powdered sugar, also known as confectioner's sugar, is sifted through fine mesh strainers to create an even, delicate layer across pastry crusts. Traditional gingerbread bakers often combine powdered sugar coatings with piped sugar lettering to create decorative gifts.
