Gingerbread Houses

This is our second year making gingerbread houses with our friends. I make the houses, (yes from scratch, using the Pampered Chef mold), and our friends bring the candy. They are a lot of work to make but the kids look forward to it and have a blast decorating them. Cor assembled them for me this year, which I think is more work than making the mold. It involves more patience.

sorting all the candy, eating a lot of it too!

carefully designing it

the finished product
It is a beautiful centerpiece for our table, we are resisting the temptation to eat it before Christmas.
