Gingerbread House

I wanted to make gingerbread house for a very long time. Finally made it this year. It turned out so cute than i expected.

Even though this is a hard task and takes lots of your time, but your kids will love it. You can bake the cookies a day in advance and decorate it the next day.

A gingerbread house is a novelty confectionery shaped like a building that is made of cookie dough, cut and baked into appropriate components like walls and roofing. The usual material is crisp ginger biscuit made of gingerbread – the ginger nut. Another type of model-making with gingerbread uses a boiled dough that can be moulded like clay to form edible statuettes or other decorations. These houses, covered with a variety of candies and icing, are popular Christmas decorations, often built by children with the help of their parents.

I followed sallys baking addiction blog for recipe and ideas.
