She starts about a month in advance. When she was working, she baked a lot for christmas quantity, but not so many ornate things, it was more about quantity than about quality (speaking of visuals here, they were allways delicisous). She learned to bake gingerbread only fairly late, after she retired.

Charly,
Your mum must be exhausted after all that baking and decorating. When does she start her Christmas baking?

It looks like there are transitional forms between flowers and stars in the gingerbread record.

@Voyager, #1: wow, is this ever a good question… this must take months to make! It is simply so fantastic in its intricacy.
I get hungry every time I look! I bet these taste really wonderful.
