Gingerbread House

~~~~

Hi Everybody...I hope you are all well...I have been a busy little bee preparing for Christmas... I am so excited for My Daughter to come home from University. I spoke to her the other day and I cant believe how 4 months of being on her own she has developed in to a mature young lady... Her dad and I are so proud of her.... I am also having my whole family join us at our house this year. There will be 12 of us in total...So bake bake bake is all I have done for days lol.... I wanted to share my first Gingerbread house that I have made from Scratch!!! I bought the silicone mold from a local store Gifts and Gadgets, made my ginger bread, royal icing and picked out way to much candy lol.... The little reindeer was made from gum paste that I learned how to do from Melissa at My cake school. I also searched around for ideas on google and seen this house from Sweetopia and loved the icicle idea :).... Well that is it for me today. Thanks for dropping by :)..
