Who is going to make one, and do you have any tips for me?

edited....... first post changed while I was responding

I like this one much better 8)

I saw one in New World, looked quite good. I have never made one though it would be fun to do

I saw a kitset gingerbread house somewhere (The Warehouse I think). That must be cheating :dunno:

I have never tried to make one so don't have any tips sorry.

I see ginger biscuit houses but not gingerbread

I'd like to see one going into my tum

Make sure you add egg white to the icing otherwise it may not stick together ....

I bought a kitset one from pack and save for nine dollars, opened it this morning and the chimney is broken and the one side wall is broken, guess I will have to stick it together, atleast its just broken and not crumbled. I have tried baking it myself, but can never get the thickness quite right. I am going to go to the cake shope and see what little decorations I can buy, someone said that I should make the eggwhite icing and leave it out for a day or two too harden and then grate it for realistic snow. Might try that too.

Just glue it back together with chocolate on the inside

Just eat the broken chimney and say Santa knocked it off when drink driving the sleigh

:digH:

I made this one. It turned out beautifully.

Wow excellent work Jennifer !drool:

I wish I could bake something that good. I'm only good at curry though

give it a go Joe, can't be harder than some of your other arty projects

Well I am done, although my roof is caving in a bit LOL

Looking good! Just tell people it is based in Christchurch

Well it completely caved in now, disaster struck on my little house. I think I just put too much icing on the roof atleast I managed a photo before it happened, Kids will munch on it anyways, so no worries :rotf:

don't eat it all without me, I'm coming over!

What a shame &c:ry

As said, good you took a pic before the collapse! :happy2:

Wow that looks really cute Melanie, beautiful work !drool:

It's a shame about it caving in though

Sophia you won't believe it but its gone Caryl I just just took that pic in time, we decided that disaster struck due to the blizzard causing very high snowlevels on the roof, causing it to cave in, next time I will have a lighter snowfall LOL. Thanks so much Joe, it did look very nice indeed, a pitty it won't be on our Christmas table

I believe it, it was destined to be chomped. And although it didn't make it to the christmas table but it will still be 'around' tomorrow in another form....

Pak n Save had some you put together yourself, about $10 or $20
