Description
last minute entry into the great GingerBread House Contest. This house is built entirly from gingerbread and select candies. The windows were made by carmelizing sugar and letting it cool on a cookie sheet. Used many candied items including these neat little dried fruits that looked as rocks. If you look hard you can find even the outhouse around the corner. Even has a toilet seat made of frosting. Just dont mind the few scrap pieces of gingerbread that are in the hole. Up front we have baby Jesus and the crew. Best wishes to all and to all a goodnight. Merry Christmas!!!(c) Jeremy Forbes

hey Cansrox thanks much for the props on the house It took about a week if you count the time planning and concept drawing. 2 days of actual building work 1st day just made the structure and second day decorating. It was a ton of fun and now well she is pretty much gone except the outhouse which remains waiting.

This is certainly amazing work. I love the decorations (the way they're mostly just red and white with some other colors sparingly sprinkled in works great), but I think I'm even more in awe of the windows. I'll have to keep that idea in mind.

ty ty, when doing the windows just take your time and be super careful with the stovetop heat it can go from amazing to horrible in seconds. If you need any help please let me know.

That is gorgeous! I'm wanting to make my own Gingerbread house one day, but this is entirely out of my league, I'm sure!
You should have posted photos of the out-house, that would have been fun to see!;D
