This little gingerbread has breath mints used under the windows which is different and cool. The artist also used Christmas candy corn around the front of the house. Nickle wafers were used on the roof in between impressions that were made in the gingerbread before baking.
What a beautiful home with multiple levels of roof and floors. The artist in this case choose to make a gingerbread house as close to a real house as they could. Pretzels were used for fence, wheaties were use for a thatched roof appearance and decorations were made with icing to resemble the real thing. This is really a great design.
This chalet style gingerbread house uses licorice for a fence and large gumdrops for the walkway edges. They have lined the roof with smaller gumdrops and used fake snow around the base of the house. The hole was left in the front to add a nice detail. These can be cut out with cookie cutters before baking.
Like the purple and yellow ‘fringe’ on the front – it is really different. Lots of little touches like wreaths on windows, candy canes at front door and spearmint trees.
A great graphic to show how to make the incredible graham cracker house.
