Gingerbread Fun

Not very many people know this about me, but I have gingerbread skills. Baking, shaping, stacking, decorating, and gluing together with Royal Icing. I have Royal Icing skills…not professional skills. I never took a class or got a Royal Icing degree….they probably have those, though…hmmmm…

Anyway, every year, the kids and I build gingerbread houses and other various structures. Some years, I let the kids do most of the decorating and such, but some years, I just feel the need to have my own project. This was one of those years.

 

Behold!
