Reading through the pimp suggestions section of the site I stumbled on the suggestion of a huge gingerbread man – “simple” I think, “I’m well known for my gingerbread cats in these parts, a big gingerbread man would be easy.” Then I got to thinking “Easy is boring, I want to create a pimp with a bit of bling” The idea for gingerbread chav was born…….
I gathered together everything I thought I would need including several chocolate bars with conveniently blingin’ wrappers. (I don’t need any excuse to buy chocolate but this was a good one anyway!)
I once again used Saint Delia Smith’s gingerbread recipe to create the perfect base for my chav.
I couldn’t find a cook shop with a big enough cutter (even ebay couldn’t come up with the goods) so I made my own pattern to cut around
I then realised he wouldn’t fit on my baking trays! I was not prepared to reduce his chav-tastic height of 20” so decided on radical surgery and cut him in half!
After a cosy 12 minutes at 170C he came out of the oven with a lovely golden suntan.
I left him to cool and get hard while I set about making him some chav bling and a regulation Burberry cap.
After a bit of research to familiarise myself with Chav-ness I decided on suitable attire
Made some suitable bling and put the cap on his head.
Eyes and a mouth later ‘sorted!’
Chavtastic!
