Here's some baking inspiration for you!

Malta Records has celebrated another festive milestone – this time in the form of a giant gingerbread man. This incredible baking feat was on display at the Christmas Village in Fgura over the weekend, and entirely stole the show!

Some photos snapped of the massive cookie show the sweet figure decked in a Santa costume, with its trademark smile and looking delicious.

The impressive gingerbread man measures a staggering 5.26 metres in length and 4.65 metres in width – enough to feed the entire town! It was made by Camilleri Caterers using 290kg of dough and 60kg of icing, and took the pastry team one whole month to make, even working four intensive days of 12-hour shift – that’s dedication!

Did you get a chance to marvel at this sweet masterpiece?
