As a cookie, gingerbread can be made into a thin, crisp cookie (often called a ginger snap) or a softer cookie similar to the German Lebkuchen. Gingerbread cookies are often cut into shapes, particularly gingerbread men.
A variant dough is used to make gingerbread houses a la the "witch's house" encountered by Hansel and Gretel. These, covered with a variety of candies and icing, are a common Christmas decoration.
icing tubeとは糊代わりに使うもののようです。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(food) Icing (also frosting) is a sweet glaze made of sugar, butter, water, and egg whites or milk, often flavoured and cooked and used to cover or decorate baked goods, such as cakes or cookies. Those seeking to reduce the fat or sugar content of a dessert will sometimes eat it with the icing removed, as it tends to contain much of this content.
