Christmas Competition.... [$$]

[Target]

Ok so I didnt make the gingerbread man. I bought him cause I tryed four or five times to make him and it didnt work out.

 

I did on the other hand make the tree, and the house.

 

The layout tray was 4 for a dollar at the dollar store and the icing (white, green, yellow) was all homemade.

 

Took me about 5 or 6 hours but its done.

 

Thanks to roommates lol

 

Well heres mine again.

I've had quite a few questions regarding the edibility of my gingerbread house.

 

YES - everything is edible.

 

Ingredients I used.

 

1 - Gingerbread (made myself using a recipe found at http://www.foodnetwork.com)

2 - royal icing (recipe also found at http://www.foodnetwork.com)

I used the icing as glue and as stucco on the sides of the house. Also to hold the grass down.

3 - 14 packages of Chocolate Necco wafers. (Shingles for the roof)

4 - Coconut with green food coloring used for the lawn.

5 - (And I guess this is the real reason I've had so many people ask) Rolled Fondant.

It is primarily used for wedding cakes. For more info on what it is http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-fondant.htm

I added food coloring to the fondant to get the colors I wanted then cut out all of the following.

Guns -

Boards for the windows -

Sign above the door & doormat -

Driveway & sidewalk -

I also wrapped the chimney in the stuff and then made the brick texture before it hardened.

If left for more than a day it will harden on the outside and become very stiff.

6 - I also used pretzels for the railing and ladder inside. (I had planned on putting in a fence and a few other details but ran out of time.)

I was also going to use black string licorice to make razor wire around the house but couldn't find any in local stores. I tried the regular licorice but it just didn't look right.

 

If anyone has any other questions.. just ask I'd be more than willing to answer.

 

(This house took about 20 hours to make.)
