To make the biscuits:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / Fan 160°C /Gas 4.
2. Line a tray with baking parchment.
3. Cut around the stencils printed on the outside of the box using a clean pair of kitchen scissors. 
4. Empty the sachet of biscuit mix into a bowl, add the syrup and butter. Bring together to a smooth dough.
5. Using flour to dust, roll out the dough using a rolling pin to approximately 5mm in thickness.
6. Using the stencils as a guide (inside side of the carton stencil facing downwards onto the dough), carefully cut out 8 of each shape. Alternatively, draw around the stencil on to baking paper and use this as a stencil instead. 
7. Place in the centre of the oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes.
8. Once baked remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
To make the icing:
9. Empty the sachet of white royal icing into a bowl and add 5-10ml cold water and mix until thick and smooth.
10. Empty the sachet of purple coloured icing into a bowl and add 10-15ml cold water and mix until thick and smooth.
11. Consistency can be adjusted by either adding a small amount of icing sugar or water.
Decoration:
12. Stick the biscuit together using the white royal icing. Using the image as a guide decorate with the remaining icing, sugar paste decorations, sugar strands and black icing pen.
