In fact, it's been so eventful, it's hard to remember just half of the things that happened. Thankfully, someone's come up with an excellent -- and delicious -- way to help you look back over the year that was.

Podcaster Helen Zaltzman holds an annual gingerbread decorating afternoon with her friends, which started out as a way to create Christmas ornaments for an oversized tree.

Zaltzman appeared on BBC Radio Four's Woman's Hour to showcase her efforts to capture 2016 through the prism of gingerbread people.

Zaltzman created Trump's infamous hair with some cleverly positioned cheese puffs, while Clinton's pantsuit was recreated in bold red icing.

And it wouldn't be an accurate portrayal of 2016 without a baseball bat-wielding Beyoncé performing "Hold Up" off her instant legend visual album Lemonade.

Brexit also features in Zaltzman's creations. Here's Theresa May, who became prime minister following David Cameron's dramatic resignation after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
