How long in advance can I make gingerbread?


My sister has asked me to make gingerbread men/girls for her wedding as bonbonierre, however, as I am also making the wedding cake & am chief bridesmaid I need to know how soon in advance I can make the gingerbread to avoid me having a breakdown.

I was thinking I would do them a week before but don't know if the icing would make them go yucky?

Any help would be appreciated as I am not a fan of gingerbread so have no experience with it!
There are some answers for your reference as below,you can choose your best answers



Gingerbread is one of those things that gets better with time. A week is fine, HOWEVER, don't frost them first as they will def go soggy. Also, you can freeze them and they will store up to a month. Thaw the night before and frost that morning. Or the day before should be fine. Just don't frost any earlier than that.
