Happy Holidays!

This holiday I became a kid again, making the ultimate gingerbread house!  R and I had so much fun making the dough.  When it came to assembling the house, it truly tested our patience to make a solid foundation with the icing.  We found that the roof kept sliding and after a couple tries, we made sure each time we frosted a piece of gingerbread it was refrigerated so the frosting would harden.  This took most of the day!

Finally, it was time to decorate our house. We used sour gum drops, Necco sugar wafers for shingles, and cotton candy for the smoke from the chimney.  Our final touch was the heart of the house made out of the candy cane hooks.  The ground plane would not be complete without placing a few trees made by none other than my Peeps!

*I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!*
