The gingerbread house.
December 25, 2007
I got all inspired by the craftypod gingerbread house post and took on the task this year. I have to say the construction phase was quite tricky and a couple of the pieces were a little overdone in the oven (OK… they were quite burnt). It was great fun though!
I used white chocolate drops for roof tiles, an ice cream cone decorated with musk life savers and rasberries to make the tree, pineapple lumps for the door, star anise for the window, cinnamon for the logs and sugar crystals for the path. The gingerbread recipe came from the ABC and I got lots of inspiration from Martha Stewart.

Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said.
