Not sure whether to post here or in the 'seasonal' food section....

I was thinking it would be nice for DS (19 months) and I to make gingerbread men ('people') together. He can help with the mixing, rolling, cutting out, and will help attach the features. He absolutely loves the story and has a couple of gingerbread man pictures in books - every time he sees them we have to say 'run, run, as fast as you can etc' and he has to have a little run through the house! Very cute Anyway, back to the point....

I have found a reasonably low sugar gingerbread recipe that I am happy with DS eating as a special treat, but I was wondering how we could attach the sultanas for their buttons (no Smarties here, lol!) without using icing? I thought about cream cheese or peanut butter, but really wanted something sweet rather than savoury. And I was hoping to pipe on little eyes, noses and mouths. I am almost reconciled that a tiny amount of sugar on each one won't hurt, but if anyone else has any other suggestions, please let me know.
