The little ginger house

As it is very nearly Christmas, today I thought I would have a go at making a gingerbread house as I have never made one before. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I told you it was very time consuming and although fun to decorate the construction was a living nightmare! Never the less I persevered through all the times that my roof would slide of the top of the little ginger house, one of my sides even broke in half so I had to make a new one at the last minute!

After all this my apron  was left covered in white icing and the kitchen was a tip however the little ginger house wasn't half bad in the end. And looking at it now I can tell you it is holding out well and hasn't yet fallen apart! The hardest part of this baking experience is yet to come! Trying not to nibble at it for a day till Christmas day! That would really be a Christmas miracle if it lasts un-touched in my house for a whole day.
