When cousin J & I found a kit for a gingerbread house at CostPlus, we knew we had a winner of a Saturday night ahead of us.
No baking, no fuss--plenty of muss, we found out.
The icing provided was not at sticky or glue-like enough.
and the roof kept sliding off
another couple of sets of hands would have been handy.
but we had fun and got a couple of photos before....
it gracefully splatted into a sugary heap.
:) If there were really five year olds involved, there would have been finger pointing and angry weeping.
ReplyDeletePlease at least tell me the gingerbread was worth eating?
Also - if you're inclined to share with your Campus Life group, there's a gingerbread house show here...
ReplyDeleteTrue; we just kind of shrugged. And it was VILE. Am sure the cookie bits were baked a year ago and shipped. We both discovered that we have our Pathfinder Cake Decorating Honor, so we will make our own uber-sticky buttercream frosting next time. And will probably use chocolate graham crackers and get our own fresh candy for decorating.
ReplyDeleteBut it was fun.
Yuck. Do make your own - I'm sure that being able to eat them would make a nice difference!
