Make Your Own Gingerbread House | Day 3 自製薑餅屋

The back of our gingerbread house

By Ellen L. Published: 2016-12-

Dear readers, this is the last day!  I have to admit it, this little gingerbread house took longer to do (and a caused a bit of nervous hair tearing) than I thought it would...but what can I say, it was worth it.  There's nothing quite like a house made completely of candy and cookies, not when I was a little girl reading over and over again the fairytale of Hansel and Gretel and the little candy house they found nestled in the woods, and not even now when I'm all grown up and seen, well, lots of strange and wonderful things.  When my little girl and I finally finished our little gingerbread house and it was sitting so pretty on our table...it was just the feeling of magic...I felt almost as if we were transported to that fairy forest, looking through the trees, eyes big with wonder, peeking at a house delightfully  and completely made of candy, with a wicked wee witch hiding inside...

We mixed and baked the gingerbread house shapes according to our downloadable templates in our post Make Your Own Gingerbread House | Day 1.  We constructed the gingerbread house on Make Your Own Gingerbread House | Day 2.  Today on Day 3 we finally decorate our gingerbread house with candies of all sorts!  This is the best part!
