I’m so excited…. I just finished my gingerbread house. I have snoopy kitties that might sneak a lick, so I found a great, large glass dome at the Pottery Barn to put it under, and it fits like it was made for it! The house is a kit from Trader Joe’s. It came with the pre-baked gingerbread panels, hand piped icing people & a cat, and it’s lovingly made in Germany. The icing woman reminds me of my Mama (my Hungarian grand-mother…. she wore a handkerchief over her head too… like in “the old country” she used to say.) Cute! So anyway… all I had to do was make the icing, assemble the house and decorate – great fun on a windy day.
Click on any of the pics to see them larger.
I found chocolate rocks for the pathway. I sugared tree and wreath after icing them for a little extra sparkle.
What cookie cabin in the snow would be complete without a pond for skating? If you look real close you might see that I made a figure eight in the ice, because icing people are fabulous figure skaters!
I forgot to take pics of the back, so I’ll upload those later.
