I didn't do a gingerbread house last year. Time just got away from me, which is a shame because they are so much fun to decorate. So I made time to do one this year. It's from a kit--I have yet to bake my own gingerbread house, though maybe one day.

| The house came with: frosting, green fondant, pucker ups, mini beads, peppermint balls, and jelly dots. |
I also used some of my own supplies. Coconuts flakes from the snow, yellow royal icing, various sprinkles, marshmallows, an ice cream cone.

Here is a
link on how to make the marshmallow tree. The man in the video frosts the ice cream cone. I had a hard time getting the marshmallows to stick that way. I had to dab each one with icing then attach it.

I used the cookie cutter on the green fondant to make bushes.

To make the Christmas tree in the window, I cut up some of the green gummy candies.

The kit came with a snowman gingerbread cookie. At first I wasn't thrilled with a 2-dimensional snowman, but I think it turned out to one of my favorite things about the house.
 |
| Like an insane person, I hand placed every sprinkle. The effect was worth it though. |
I may not done a gingerbread house last year but my mom did two! I forgot to post them last year so here they are:
This one is one of my all time favorite gingerbread houses that she's done. The exterior is covered in tootsie rolls and nuts.
Check out my other gingerbread houses!
Enjoy!
