RE: Anya and Dan's Gingerbread House for Christmas 2018
Looks very well constructed ... and delicious. Also, this is a very detailed and interesting post. Good work!
Has anyone started nibbling on the gingerbread? I know I would not be able to resist it. :-)
That was one thing I planned for, there was some gingerbread set aside for eating rather than construction (You can see in the baked gingerbread photo that the windows weren’t fully punched out until after baking, because that helped maintain the structure of the shapes and also so there would be some little tombstone-shaped cookies at the end. Plus I made some cookies with the leftover bits of dough after we were done cutting the templates. Originally they were going to be gingerbread men but I was tired enough my that point that I only did one and the rest were hand-smushed circle shapes.).
