The gingerbread village from left to right - Diner, House, House, Town Hall, Candy Shop and another House.
The heat of the NZ summer meant the cement icing didn't set as it usually would so a few planned buildings didn't make it!
Every year Dorise bakes gingerbread houses, then assembles them. Then on the next night, tomorrow, the kids all come over and they decorate them.
I have always wanted to make a gingerbread house and well, 'tis the season. However, I wanted to make something more to my roots and decided to make a gingerbread arcade.
I don't know if that is gingerbread or just gram crackers, but none the less its suppose to be what the title says.
Today in school, Savanah's class made gingerbread houses (actually, it looks to be more of a graham cracker house, but I digress). This was what Savanah came home with. It may not be the most structurally sound building ever built, but what it lacks in proper structure it more than makes up with in taste.
She was very proud of her creation and put in a lot of effort and creativity. She even included little gumdrop people with M&M heads and red and green frosting bushes out front. She is my very own little architect in training. I'll have to remember to guide her towards another profession being that I've had experience in the field. I am, however, amazed and proud (as per usual) of the creativity she showed. The little gumdrop people with M&M heads were my favorite (creatively and in taste), unfortunately, when I got around to shooting this, most had lost their heads or had been eaten.
Stefan made his gingerbread house without us, so we don't have pictures of that. Chris wanted help to make his - and a good thing! The roof kept falling apart! Note the columns we added to help keep it up!

Based on the amazing Micro-Model designed by master builder Mariann Asanuma for Brickjournal
Ignoring the elegant lines of Mariann's model, I made a few tweaks to the design, extending the roof and adding a chimney. I also gave a bigger hat to the snowman, 'cause I'm a rebel like that.
Oh, this poor house. This was a funky little down-home-type restaurant called TJ's Gingerbread House in West Oakland, CA. It had been open for over 30 years, but closed in 2007 when the proprietress became too old to run it any longer. Now it sits, stripped of most of its gingerbread, in this odd location directly next to the train tracks and the highway over-and- underpasses, the sole survivor of the 19th century in its immediate area.
The 5th project! A gingerbread cookie pieced together from long oval punches, with a wide mat around the edges (6). The smile was the trickiest. It's a happy face punch that I had the same color as the background with a small piece of red paper behind, showing through for the mouth.
Sponsored by the Gingerbread Construction Co. and made by John & Janet D'Orsi. (Btw, I'm saying "sponsored by", but that may be the name of the place the people work, I'm not sure)
The house itself here is simple, but the details of the figures in front are so cute!
