Stained Glass Star Gingerbread House

gingerbreadhouse

I love the stained glass (candy) window added to this gingerbread house. This one has a clean design leaving the corners undecorated as well as the edges of the gingerbread men. The stained glass is made from melting a shiny candy. Melt the candy, pour onto wax paper to let it go flat and press same cookie cutter (cover with Crisco type product) that was used in the gingerbread itself and cut a shape out. You can also lay the gingerbread with the cutout directly onto wax paper and pout the melted candy into the cutout until filled. Make sure this is poured a little thick – otherwise it will be very fragile. This could be a school, church or house.

Nickel Wafer Gingerbread House

What a really cool gingerbread house – I love the use of nickel wafers (both colored and chocolate) when use for decorating of a gingerbread house. This gingerbread artist used jelly beans, nickel wafers,Fruity Pebbles and sticks of gum for the shutters. I like the small touches like the wreath in the window  -it really added to the look overall. The artist used plastic Christmas trees and I would have found a candy or icing variety of some sort myself.
