Kristin made this yesterday:
It’s not a gingerbread house, it’s a holiday chocolate cookie! But is this really a ‘cookie’?
Here’s what was in the box:
Immediately it was clear the quality of this product was leagues beyond the usual ‘make-your-own-gingerbread-house’, which was to be expected considering it cost several times as much!
The first step was to cement the pieces together using the icing. As you can see they all fit more or less seamlessly and it’s well supported by the base.
The icing is the longest step. It took her maybe 30 minutes to complete it. Since the icing is meant to be snow, it hardly matters – in fact looks better – if you go outside the lines a bit!
Then it’s time to decorate. In addition to the pieces enclosed she put a few gumballs on top of the chimney. Don’t the little golden pearls look good?
And here is the completed cookie! Doesn’t it look great?
We’re going to try to keep it around Christmas. Will it still be edible then? Will it even last that long? I guess we’ll find out! 🙂
Kristin it’s beautiful. You did a great job with the icing on the roof, as it would have been a little nerve racking to do. I hope it lasts, so you can sample it. It’s very festive. ?
