When we asked for your
own gingerbread-house creations, I was surprised by the number of entries. There were 30 of them, and each one is fantastic. If you missed it, we posted the
first fifteen entries this morning, but now it's time for the next fifteen.
We're having a
gingerbread house contest at Sugarland, and I planned on building one with the usual supplies, but changed my mind and decided to go another route after considering the time and effort that goes into making a cookie house.
I've seen the great felt kits from
Twinkle Kids that you can order for $55, but it was too late to order one so I improvised. Rather than waiting for pre–cut felt shapes and candy bits to show up at my door, I went out and bought a few pieces of felt and made my own. It's an easy and fun project that kids and parents can both enjoy.
CasaSugar recently asked which
Sugar HQ gingerbread house you preferred. It's been a back and forth struggle between PartySugar's
Snowy Log Cabin and BuzzSugar's
Dr. Gingerbread House.
The other day, CasaSugar asked you
which Sugar HQ gingerbread house you preferred. Many of you said PartySugar's
Lagito Cabin Gingerbread House, but my Mid-Century Modern charmed some of you folks as well. Earlier you got the step-by-step for hers, so today I thought I'd give you the step-by-step for mine.
CasaSugar and I recently got into a debate over
who could make the best gingerbread house. I hadn't actually made one from scratch ever, and was about 10 years old when I last put one together. However neither of these things stopped me from talking up how great my house would be.
After twelve hours, five emergency trips to the grocery store, three batches of
royal frosting, and two house threatening crises, my log gingerbread snow cabin with frozen lake was completed and ready to enter the
challenge. Let's hope it wins the
the SugarHQ best gingerbread house contest.
It was a tough, time consuming project, but the final result — an amazingly cute gingerbread house — was well worth the effort.
For some imperceptible reason, a few weeks ago I decided to challenge my office to a gingerbread house-making challenge, a "Gingerbread-Off," if you will. Turns out getting my walls and roof to stand on their own was not an easy feat, and suddenly memories of disastrous gingerbread houses from my youth rushed back to me. It was a fun weekend activity though, and I was excited to see what my coworkers had come up with.
When
CasaSugar announced the first annual gingerbread house throwdown here at Sugar HQ a few weeks back, I knew I needed to come up with a creation that was buzzworthy in addition to being delicious. Luckily, after brainstorming with some friends, inspiration struck: I wasn't going to just make a gingerbread house. I was going to make gingerbread
House.
There he is.
I'm so glad I came across this
gingerbread house how to. I'm making my house for
our gingerbread house challenge this weekend and the step-by-step instructions are super helpful. Check it out and enter our challenge.
