THE CABOOSE
Last but not least, a smiling brakeman in a candy cane-studded car brings up the cheer.
1 Lay the base of the caboose face-up on your work surface. Glue a graham cracker stack in place. Pipe icing onto the ends of the stack, then gently press the sides in place. Add the front and roof. Glue on the roof detail and add a circle deck to the base, as shown.
Caboose Parts
This arrangement of gingerbread elements should help you organize the project.
2 As before, glue mints to the remaining circles, let them set for a few minutes, then glue them in place: 2 on each side and 1 on the front. Decorate the gingerbread man with icing and candy, then glue it just behind the deck. Pipe some icing onto the outer edge of the deck and press 4 pairs of LifeSavers Gummies into it. Stick 4 mini candy canes through the holes for the gate.
To Finish Decorating: Glue on candies and add details such as a mini candy cane heart and a stovepipe (we made ours with LifeSavers Gummies).
