I know its not Christmas time yet, but I was organizing the pictures on my computer when I came across some pictures of food that I did a few years ago. I wanted Avery to see how a gingerbread house was made. We set out to do it. Winco, a discount grocery store in Washington, sells some candy in bulk - that's where we headed!!
I don't have pictures of making the gingerbread dough or how I cut out the pieces. Essentially you roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4" then place templates on top and cut them out with a knife, then bake. As opposed to cutting them out after they're baked.

Using Royal Icing as glue between the pieces |
|
You just have to hold them together long enough for it to hold |
|
This looks like a garage, maybe next time I'll do it that way. I guess this is a colonial style house with a den or something. |

Attaching the roof! |
|
Damn pans are warped! |
|
I used royal icing and candy, peanuts, pretzels and frosted mini-wheats for the shingles on the roof. The frosted part makes it look like snow. |
|
Avery enjoyed creating a house of candy! |

The chimney |
|
Can you see the 'wood pile'? |
|
I think we were bombarded by M&Ms! |
This was a fun project to do together. We had this out for a while, then throw it out! (After we ate the M&Ms!!)
