How to Make a GingerSnape.

[pyjamapants]

First off, I hope ya'll enjoyed your Gingersnapes. It's been a blast making them, and I'm super anxious to hear how you liked them. :) I've been passing them out randomly at the con (I'm really hoping to happen upon a flock of Snarry shippers tomorrow). And have some classic photes of Droxy!Snape NOT RESPONDING WELL to Gingersnapes. :) I can't get the photos off the memory card yet, but they''ll certainly be up. *giggle*

So, you've read the story by voxangelus  now. The inspiration for it was described here. (and if you've not read the story yet, go here or here)

Here's, quickly (before i pass out), how the cookies happened.

First, I asked anonymous_plume  to do an outline of pregger Snape for me. She is brilliant and delivered this:

She also gave me a cauldron (which you guys have, but con-goers don't. No playing Snape and cauldron for these folks!). Then I just printed out the graphics and used window weatherstripping (the metal kind with the little rubbery insert). I bent the weather stripping into the shape of the outine. The gave me some nice cookie cutters with sharp edges. The downside is they don't form a fully connected figure which can be a little futzy.



From there, it was a matter of sampling recipes. I setted on this one for Gingersnaps. Then it was a matter of rolling out dough and cutting out the shapes. And eating! Lots of Snapey eating!


The accidentally made Pregnant-Outie (and apparently unrepeatable) Snape went to sc010f .



Stacked up Snapes make JengaSnapes



And last, my favorite Snape out of all of them.



Gingersnapes shall also be making an appearance at zibit_con_09 .

It is certainly not wrong to talk to/pose/lick them. BTW, I had to roll the dough reaaaally thin to get them to work. The original gingerbread recipe tasted like crap but held the shape much better. There's lots of fat reject Snapes still sitting in my kitchen. :)

Ended up losing my camera, so I fear the Droxy!Snape and Gingersnape photos may be lost forever. :( She was kind enough to apologize for crucioing me the next day. :)
