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!
December 2008-This is my first attempt at a gingerbread house, something a good friend has been trying to get me to make for some time. I baked the gingerbread using her recipe and pattern. The trees are sugar cones covered with royal icing. The snowman and Santa are marshmallow candies.

Every year we make gingerbread men with Hallie's old/future next door neighbors. The camera was forgotten so no pictures of actual cookie making were taken :(

On Santa Claus the obvious choice for my self portrait was of course gingerbread. So here before eating it...
In 2006, the Mall of America was home to the world's largest gingerbread house. Being a gingerbread aficionado, I decided to see this thing up close. It was almost entirely edible.
Opening in 1992, the Mall of America is the largest shopping mall in the United States (and perhaps the world, when all things are considered). It has a gross area of 4.2 million square feet which contains 500+ shops, restaurants, clubs, an underground aquarium, cinema, flight simulators, LEGO Imagination Center, and theme park. It even boasts 20,000 parking spaces and a dedicated light rail station. In a recent survey, Mall of America was the 2nd most visited tourist destination in the United States, bringing in around 40 million visitors per year.
My little gingerbread houseys. Lots of peppermints and chocolates, cookies and biscuits... and cotton candy from the chimneys.
They are made of polymer clay.
The tallest house is 2.5 cm tall
The gingerbread houses are on display at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were made by different organizations & are all for sale.
This is one of the best cakes I've made, and I would rank it as one of the best recipes in The Vegetarian Hearth. I love gingerbread, and this is one is divine: moist, spicy, dark as night and sweet as sin. Even though there's a much molasses in this as in the molasses cookies, its heavy taste is transformed by the floral notes of all the spices. I ran out of cinnamon, so I used cardamom as a substitute, which worked out in the cake's favor.
The recipe is so simple to put together, and the result is so damned good, it's almost ludicrous. It took me literally 5 minutes or so to throw all of the ingredients together, and it took me about that long to eat a third of the cake as soon as it was out of the oven. Oooh, my kitchen smells so special now. I could make this cake every day.
Goldstein includes a recipe for a hot orange syrup to go over the cake, and I've yet to try it. I can't imagine improving on something that's already fabulously good. Obviously, I can't build a cake up this much without providing the recipe, so without any further ado...
Gingerbread
1 egg
6 tbsp light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark molasses
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon (I ran out of cinnamon, so I used cardamom instead, which made it taste even better)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup boiling water
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease an 8 inch square pan.
Beat the egg into the brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the molasses, melted butter, and spices, mixing well, then add the salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Beat in the boiling water. The batter will be loose. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out dry. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Serves 6-8.
I've always wanted to build a gingerbread house from scratch, so since I seem to have oodles of free time this year (ya know, not having a job helps), I finally decided to do it. I followed this recipe and ended up making it in about 6 separate parts: the dough-making, the piece-making, the putting-together of the walls, roof, and chimney (3 separate endeavors), and the decorating of the house.
It took an exorbitant amount of time, but was so much fun and oh-so-gratifying to make from scratch. I'm pretty happy with how it came out - and surprisingly, we had no collapses! :)
This week before Christmas, the family sat down and built a gingerbread house from a pre-made kit. We had the best time!
With Saori handling the icing, the kids decorated the house as they saw fit. They can't wait to eat it on Christmas Day now.
I do believe that we have a new tradition in our home :) What are some of your traditions?
went to the discovery science center to check out the star wars exhibit but i also liked seeing the various gingerbread houses made by some talented children.

6S held a Gingerbread man decorating party to celebrate the season. Each 6S'er decorated their Gingerbread man to resemble themselves. Pretty sure we are going to stick with what we do best - Internet marketing!
A little crude, admittedly, but my philosophy on gingerbread houses is unsophisticated; it's a three dimensional platform for sugar. Everything else is secondary.
