History and tradition
The history of gingerbread man can be traced back to ancient Rome, when people made a dessert called "panismellitus" with honey and spices. In the Middle Ages, this dessert gradually evolved into gingerbread, and gingerbread man became popular during the Renaissance. At first, gingerbread man objects were used to celebrate weddings and other celebrations, but later they became part of Christmas.
In Europe, gingerbread man is usually made of gingerbread dough. This dough includes spices such as turmeric powder, cinnamon powder, clove powder, nutmeg powder and ginger powder, as well as ingredients such as sugar, honey and flour. Dough needs to be cooled for a period of time before it can be cut into various shapes, including figures, trees, stars, snowflakes and so on. These gingerbread man objects can be decorated with icing and colored candy to increase their visual appeal.
