Last year I made some Gingerbread houses for my girls to take in to school as a Christmas treat. Well it seems I may have started something because they both "demanded" a gingerbread house each this year and of course I had to indulge them!
Thank goodness I'd saved the templates and recipe I used from last year as that saved me a lot of time! I'm not usually that organised... well if you call said recipe and template stuffed into a plastic packet gathering dust at the back of my baking cupboard, organised!
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves here.. I don't think there's much I can add except to say I made the biscuits on the Thursday, glued it all together on the Friday and decorated the WHOLE of Saturday and Sunday.. well you know, like from lunch till evening time (read midnight!).
People have asked me how much patience I have... honestly, I didn't even notice doing it as what better excuse than to have a Christmas movie marathon at the same time!!
If you'd like to compare this year's and last year's houses you can find them HERE!
