Pink Gingerbread Chef Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M6-5

Bake up some sweetness with the Pink Gingerbread Chef, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a jolly chef in a soft white chef's hat, a fluffy white beard, and a pink jacket set with red jewel buttons. He holds a peppermint candy, with a white apron trimmed in red gingham holding a gingerbread man and a lollipop, red trousers and a base shaped like a little gingerbread house with candy trim.

A little collector's folklore: the gingerbread house tradition grew from the old fairy tale of a cottage made of sweets, and collectors say this chef built his own house just so he could stand on it.

Why this nutcracker: if your Christmas kitchen is pink, pastel or candy-themed, he is a sweet, unusual centrepiece. The gingerbread house base adds charm, and at 15 inches he stands proudly on a counter or open shelf.

In the box: one Pink Gingerbread Chef nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and a fabric chef's hat and apron, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Pair him with the cookie baker (F07AM9-11-N01270B) or the mixing bowl chef (F07AM9-12-N01109B) for a full bakery. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Pink Christmas kitchen and bakery decor, and a sweet gift for bakers and anyone who loves pink.
