I made my first ginger bread house ever!
« on: December 15, 2011, 07:30:18 PM »
We all got a starter house kit at my work and are competing for customer votes. Everyone just decorated the house, so I figured id try and do something different to draw some attention my way.

A little over 4 hours.

Didn't see that one coming.

This looked to be the thread to place this in.....I'd say it's a 'slight' bump  :lol


My work made every jobsite make a Ginger Bread house for the company Christmas Party that is later today. I was "nominated" to make ours as no one else wanted to. I went a little overboard and got carried away but here it is.









I melted gummie bears and stretched them over the window openings then placed a flashlight inside to illuminate it.

If Chino is still making ginger bread houses, I expect a room of lettuce and a cone outside

Never dug into building a gingerbread house before, that job always fell to the pastry teams. Figure I should do one someday.

A few years back our pastry team did a mini scale Whoville out of gingerbread and chocolate that was absolutely mind blowing. I'll attach a video...
