I assume you are talking about period gingerbread and not that insipid.. er
more highly aerated modern gingerbread. Check this file in the FOOD-SWEETS
section of my Florilegium for recipes, hints and directions:
gingerbread-msg   (39K)  5/25/99    Medieval gingerbread. Recipes.

I believe the techniques for this are covered in this file in the same
section:
candy-msg        (136K)  9/23/99    Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
sotelties-msg    (152K)  4/15/99    Sotelties and Warners - decorated food.
   (I think the first one is the better choice. If not check the second)
