Where do I get the Gingerbread mould from?
You’ll need the right mould to get that perfect gingerbread man shape, and I recommend using a gingerbread man silicone mould with the dimensions H x W x D: 5 x 20 x 25 cm. It’s flexible, non-stick, and perfect for creating an upside-down cheesecake that releases easily without cracking. I got mine here on Amazon Uk, and it’s been a game-changer for festive desserts-making it super easy to get that fun, Christmassy shape every time.
