Make Your Own Gingerbread House | Day 1 自製薑餅屋

My favorite time of the year, Christmas season, is near to hand and, inspired by that age old Brothers Grimm fairy tale, we made a Hansel and Gretel themed Gingerbread House!! Do you remember the part in the original tale where the brother and sister, abandoned in the woods and very hungry, find a life sized gingerbread house:
"On they walked and walked, til suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a glade.
'This is chocolate!' gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of plaster from the wall.
'And this is icing!' exclaimed Gretel, putting another piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the cottage."
~Hansel and Gretel from Grimm's Fairy Tales, 1812

As a kid I was so fascinated by that wonderful cottage in the woods completely made of candy that I wanted to live there! Can you imagine? Both shelter and food sweetly and surely taken care of! Without that evil old witch, of course. So now all these years later I'm finally sorta fulfilling that fantasy by making our own Hansel and Gretel Gingerbread House...
