I like a gingerbread house with a lot of candy on it.

This years Gingerbread Castle or Palace (whatever you decide fits the bill) is again made by the artist Margareta Persson who has in the past created almost all of the gingerbread castles seen in the museum.
Made with 24 kg flour, 70 packets of icing sugar it stands 3.30 metres tall, 3.30 metres wide and has a width of 1.60 metres.
As usual this is only exhibited at christmas time.

It's becoming my Christmas tradition to make loads of gingerbread men and sharing them with my friends. And of course before that is to line them up and take a photo.
I made this gingerbread house with a friend yesterday. It’s not the greatest gingerbread house, but its good enough. At least the roof didn’t fall off. That’s the most important thing. =)
Supposedly, when we finish making the gingerbread house, we should wait until Christmas Day to eat it. Instead, we decided to eat it right when we were done. Actually, we waited a while, since I had to take a picture. By the end, we only managed to finish one roof and a quarter of the second roof. And of course, the candies!! Not all, most of it.
In my opinion, I don’t think anyone would be able to finish eating the whole gingerbread house. I make one every year and we never finish it, it’s just too big. I think it’s just to have fun with your friends and family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Best wishes of 2009!
2 more days until Christmas!!
I found the red cardboard house at the thrift store for $1 and changed it into a gingerbread house. I copied the Maileg Gingerbread House. I changed the roofline using an old Candy Land box, applied gesso, many layers of acrylic paint, used a cream paint pen for the details, and sealed it with chalkpaint creme wax.
Every year my daughter bakes something interesting for Christmas. This year she made gingerbread truck with windows made of sugar. The truck delivered all our presents :)
one of my dreams is to build a chapel one day. a few days ago during baking gingerbread cookies I realized that I already did it. five little chapels )
Lovely gingerbread house version of Trinity Church in Boston. I did NOT make this. It was part of a gingerbread house competition at the Christmas Craft Fair, held every year at Boston's World Trade Center.
Just a quick post to wish all of my flickr friends and their families HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I hope that everyone takes some time to spend with those who are near and dear to them and embraces the holiday spirit! Here's also to 2012 - full of photographic opportunities just waiting to be explored! :-)
One tray of gingerbread cookies, waiting to be delivered. I made 250 of these cuties this Christmas season; 150 in this design and another 100 in the boy/girl design.

Hope everyone had a great day! Here is our attempt at decorating gingerbread men. You can see my daughter's skill level compared to mine. Mine is the dude on the far left 😆...but will make for a great Christmas card next year!
Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch the gingerbread man!
Longwood Gardens is decked out with them, and they are beautiful!
our gingerbread village of the season. Part of the village with all the houses, from the chocolate house at the start of the street around the corner to the apartment complex at the far end. Lots of candy candy candy candy.
Last year Kyle Keller (NorinTheSweary) showed me how he made his fantastic present bows. It was one of those moments that instantly turned on a lightbulb! A couple of months later realized that I could use the technique to create the chocolate ring in the middle of my Gingerbread Man's head!
That is one of the things that I love most about the AFOL community - the sharing of ideas that help us all become better builders. Since then; I have tried to follow in Kyle's footsteps and share my work-arounds for difficult problems. ...so here is how I was able to make the head.
