I hadn't made a gingerbread house since Kate was small (over 30 years ago). I thought it was time to have another go. Kate was visiting today and we finished this one off together. It does have a few dodgy bits as the whole thing collapsed as I tried to make an adjustment! So we scraped of the most damaged icing around the edges and started again. The windows have coloured "glass" made from boiled sweets and it looks pretty with a couple of tealights inside. Unfortunately it wasn't bright enough for us to get a picture.

Nicely done...

You Need a Gold Medal, love it

Saw Merry Berry do hers Sue, real cute and clever of you to try. Ashame to eat it!

She used my trick for putting glass in the windows - I first did that 30 years ago!

Looks like great fun was had by the pair of you

Just a tiny bit of roof left now!

It looks cute Sue, well done. I've never tried to make one.

Looks great! My daughter always buys the kits and they make it a family project to put it together.

Sue, Great job. Love the gumdrops., Merry Christmas, Stella

Doesn't look like you lost your touch. This is cute.

How sweet and on the jelly roll. I made little cottages with GS used gram crackers as I know this way we would have had a cracked house and possibly collapsed one . You did a great job. Are those spicy gum drops?
