I love gingerbread houses. Decorating them is such a fun family activity and they taste yummy too. It's been brought to my attention, by the small members of the family, that it's been a while since we made a gingerbread house at Christmas time. I knew I took some photos of it at the time...and it appears its actually been three years!! Here's our gingerbread house from 2008! It was so delicious...we totally went Hansel and Gretel all over it! lol.
Well that just won't do. Looks like I'll be breaking out the gingerbread house mold to make another one this year. The last time we made one, we kept to white chocolate and jubes to decorate it...and I thought it looked pretty good...until I saw these amazing ones on Pinterest!
This one is just gorgeous...it never occurred to me to make a double storey gingerbread house! I love the rock candy pillars...
I love the piping work on this stunning gingerbread house, with its monochromatic scheme and light filled windows. I might try illuminating our gingerbread house this year...
This little house is so sweet with its pastel colours and whimsical feel. Love the woodgrain in the fondant door and door mat.
This modern take on a gingerbread house is fantastic! Love the gingerbread landscape and sugar work house and trees.
I'm not even sure how they made this one look like timber! Its so clever and makes me wish I lived somewhere cold with snow gently falling...
This one caught my eye instantly! The colours and so pretty and fresh, and the paint work on the front is just adorable.
The piece da resistance...an m&m covered house with rock candy bordering the steps! Thinking we might have to incorporate some of these ideas.
These gingerbread houses...and many more...can be found on my "festive stuff" pinterest board. If you need an invitation to join Pinterest, send me an email and I'll invite you.
