This is my contribution to Christmas with Family and Friends Collaboration. Gingerbread house decorated with RI. Hope you like it <3 My piece presents English cottage house with christmas decorations. Everything is made of traditional Polish gingerbread and decorated with royal icing. Gingerbread cookies are a part of Christmas tradition in Poland Although at Christmas time pierniki are baked from scratch at home, usually with participation of kids 🙂 , we enjoy them throughout the year. There are many varieties of pierniki – plain ones, filled with fruit preserves, covered with chocolate or glazed. Gingerbread is a traditional treat that has been prepared in Poland since late Middle Ages, when 11th century crusaders brought ginger and other exotic spices to Europe from the Middle East. Due to high price of those imported goods, gingerbread cake was as luxury treat . In Poland, the biggest port city and the wealthiest port city back then was Gdańsk, so it was where ginger and all the other exotic spices arrived first. Gdansk was linked by a river with Toruń, a town that was already well known for yummy baked goods. Since then Toruń has become the gingebread spot number one in Poland. In the old days it was believed that the longer you stored your gingerbread dough, the better it was when you finally made cookies. In some households gingebread dough was prepared on the day of birth of a daughter and it was baked on her wedding day.
