gingerbread

Ha ha, I'd like to say this was done by a 6 year old or something, but alas, its my first (and only I think) rubbish attempt at making a gingerbread house! Far too much trouble for something that will go in the bin, having to melt sugar to stick things together, then royal icing to cover it.. tho it was kinda fun - once :-)


On another note, my old friend (and old boss from 10 years ago!) has joined 365 :-) http://365project.org/nickstern/profile its fab for me being able to see his photo's in LA, even though photographically am sure he'll kick my butt!

Hansel and Gretel would have fun here! Well done!

[Alyssa Goodling]

Aww. Good job. Looks yummy! :)

[Cherrill]

Oh yum.....sending you our bin :-) Seriously tho its better than anything I would ever attempt! Well done! Jelly tots, choc buttons, smarties...wow!

[Marilee Diamond]

I think it turned out nicely. I tried this a while ago and it took forever and i nknow how you feel. Never turn out like the experts do.

[Helene]

Freida you make me laugh so hard! it's rREALLY cute... not sure I would eat but I understand what you mean. Chocolote cake is the same for me... such a mess for.... oh well!!!

[Warren]

Well don't put it in the bin, enjoy it for a day, then start to eat it.

[Richard Tyson]

I know a few people who'd help you out with eating that. Well the chocolate buttons anyway! Super shot.

Not rubbish at all! it's better looking than the one my granddaughter and I made last year! I still smile at the memory of her telling me -"less talking and more working!" and hearing her mother chuckling in the next room!

[Constance Brinkley]

Freida, I am so impressed. First that you would attempt it and Second that it looks really good! Enjoy it and the holidays.

[heather tares]

Will you stop putting sweets and chocolates and cakey things in your album in full view for me to see! ... I'm going to have to go and raid the chocolate stash and I haven't had me dinner yet ...

mmm, i love gingerbread! we always make gingerbread houses with graham crackers, which probably makes it easier to put together, but not nearly as delicious
