Gingerbread Tin Cookbook Stand

Bake Sale · Iced gingerbread stars, hearts and houses

Cookie-swap season, all year round

The weeks before the holidays mean flour on every surface and a kitchen that smells of ginger and clove. This is our most festive stand, and it's lovely enough to leave out long after the decorations come down.

The artwork

Gingerbread stars, hearts and tiny houses are piped with white royal icing and scattered with holly sprigs and cinnamon sticks. Folk-art gouache in gingerbread brown, holly green and berry red sits on a deep cream ground.

The stand

All Cardamomkeep stands share this build, so the only decision is the artwork. Full measurements are on our Size Guide.

Setting it up

1. Fold out the back support and pick one of the five angles.
2. Rest your cookbook, binder or tablet on the front ledge.
3. Ease the two page holders over the open pages to keep your place.
4. Done cooking? Fold it flat and slide it into a drawer, or leave the artwork on show.

Care

• Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry.
