Gingerbread House Tour
Holiday baking usually includes some sort of yummy gingerbread creations. The aroma of gingerbread cooking just screams Christmas to me! I shared my gingerbread loaf with you last year and you can get the recipe HERE.Today I am sharing my gingerbread house and inviting you to join me at the Katherines Corner Gingerbread House Tour and add your gingerbread creations to the list. If there is plenty of participation I will make this an annual event. 🙂
This little gingerbread house was a BIG challenge for me. This is actually house two. My first house had a disaster. After carefully putting all the pieces together with frosting. I left it on the counter to dry and I went to take a shower. When I returned to the kitchen the walls had all fallen off and broken into several pieces. Those of you who join me on Facebook probably saw my update… I tried putting them back together but it just didn’t look very nice. So I started again.
Here it is!
Now, I know it isn’t wise to compare yourself to others. so let me preface this next part of the post with ” I am happy with my little gingerbread house”. ♥ Okay that being shared…I am also so happy I didn’t visit pinterest prior to making my gingerbread house.
Look at these beauties! ( all photos belong to their respective posts and can be found on my gingerbread houses pinterest board)
Taste of Home launched their Gingerbread Open House event today. You can see it HERE. I am pleased to be a Taste Of Home Blogger and to join in the fun this year. Be sure to stop by their facebook page and see what others are sharing too.I would love it if you mentioned that you are visiting from Katherines Corner ( wink)

December 9, 2013 at 02:01Yours is beautiful doll as well as all the others too. I always remember making one with my Aunt when I was little. It was lots of fun, though I think I spent most of the time eating the icing and decorations for the house, haha!! Beautiful job :))) Have a wonderful week xxx

December 9, 2013 at 07:31Thank you. One of my husbands very first comments was “can I eat the icing?” giggle. So glad I sparked a happy memory for you my friend xo

December 9, 2013 at 04:09Hi Katherine,
These look absolutely fantastic, but I don’t think I am good enough to do this, may just make the cake, though.
I hope that I am not being a nuisance, I have not visited my new blog yet today, but my old one stopped working, and I had to delete it and put a new one up, and I would really appreciate getting some of my followers back, if it is not to much problem please could you follow me agiain. Thank you so much.
I hope that you have a fantastic day.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

December 9, 2013 at 07:35Thank you, me too. Some of them can be so elaborate and take 100’s of hours. Mine took about 5 hours ( including the drying time) xo

December 9, 2013 at 07:43My FIL was a pilot and every year brought home a VW filled with reall Gingerbread houses from Germany. They were all works of art. I wish we could still get them. Thanks for letting me share my houses:)

December 9, 2013 at 09:09Your new one looks nice. Don’t worry, we’ve made some that needed to be condemned.
Although seeing some of those fancy ones puts all of ours to shame.

Yours turned out amazing as well. Good thing you didn’t look at all the Pinterest ones beforehand. Might have been too intimidating.

However it was enjoyed by all, lol.
