brilliant idea
 
speaking of kids
 
 
as an ex-chemisty teacher
I think everyone with kids should do this!!

cake decorating take three
 
 
 
this week we really cheated - we bought the gingerbread kit
(to use up last weeks frosting we said....)
 
 
 
it came with lots of candy for decorating

 
it even came with fondant
the magic frosting of the Cake Boss we had been wanting to try
 
 
check out the front door - fondant
 
 
the kit came with a great sticky frosting
we called cement
that held the house together really well
 
 
it also held on candy and various other things on
 


somehow we did not even use last weeks frosting
who ever heard of pink or blue snow?

 
 I think we got
majorly involved with candy placement instead
 
 
 looks great!
 
what do you mean mom won't let us eat it......!!
 
*****
 
I started looking at other gingerbread houses
 
 
 
wow
 
 
there are some amazing
ones out there
 
simple ones
 
 
using gram crackers

 

 
 very sweet
 
 
and yet are so cute
 
 
and would be fun to decorate
 
 
here are some of my favorites
 
















 
once again I am awed and amazed by peoples creativity
 
oh and we have a recipe for the frosting
 
 
 
 
go on - build some houses
