Every year one of our Christmas traditions is to make a Gingerbread house, to various stages of fruition. Some years we finish our house, some years we do not. The gingerbread walls or roof my prove too much temptation for a hungry family member and the project does not reach completion. This year we have all the necessary components intact and we are all happy to say... It looks like we will have a finished product... stay tuned.
I must add to this post that because I have been making these houses for years, you may be led to believe that I am a good cook, let me assure you that this is by no means the case... the purpose of the house is to overdose on icing and lollies and have fun. The finished product always looks beautiful to us, regardless of the aesthetic appeal it may or may not have for others.
Awesome tradition! I bet the kids love it. I'm hanging out to see a finished product pic of your house now :)

ReplyDeletewow I am so impressed!! I made tiny little houses this year for my primary class out of those pink iced biscuits with the hundreds and thousands on even then I wasn't sure the roof was going to stay on! But i am yet to attempt anything on such a grand scale what you have done. Go Fiona
