Gingerbread Creation 2016

As you may know, we make a gingerbread creation/house every year at Christmas. Previous years have included a traditional gingerbread house, a TARDIS, a carousel and last years tudor style house. This year we bought our own house so to celebrate our first Christmas in our new home we made our house in gingerbread!

We use this same recipe every year (it seems to be pretty sturdy and makes enough for a large house). We kind of mock up a rough plan and then just go for it but you can find loads of templates online to print if you don’t feel that confident. You probably need at least two people to assemble it because one needs to ice and the other needs to hold it together until the icing sets a little. Find the recipe here.
