A biscuit or gingerbread board is a rectangular shape with an image in it, with which biscuits could be produced. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, steel rollers were introduced, which made the production of cakes much easier. As a result, the cake boards fell out of use, although they are sometimes still used for folkloric events.

Nowadays, the gingerbread shelf can be found in abundance again, including at flea markets, for example. However, always make sure that it is a cookie board that is suitable for making gingerbread. Precisely because it is such an old object, gingerbread boards are often used for decoration. There is often a layer of varnish or stain over it and that makes it unsuitable for use in the kitchen.
