SC - Molding Spices

Tried it with another recipe.  The baked gingerbread cracked & fell apart.

Tried it. Again, the dough slumped & got so distorted in shape as to be
useless. Pity.  I had wanted to stuff the hollow towers with candy for the
kids.
I'll try again next year with a different recipe.
