Gingerbread House - The Results...

At last! 30th November came and went. The Gingerbread House competition had closed and the entries from our brood hastily submitted. Here are just SOME of the photo's taken to capture the three we created...

King Julien's "Star Wars" themed Gingerbread House:


spot the guys climbing the roof, the solar panelled roof,
the residents out the front door with their hands up... the snowman outside, the icicles and his cobbled footpath...
Very imaginative.

Spike's "Snowed In" Gingerbread House:


Can you see the icicles, the snow drift by the front door, the cobbled footpath, the snowman with twig arms, the trees made out of star shaped cookies... the picket fence..., the garden gate, the logs piled up outside the front door. Even the swedish flag...

Tuna's "Ice Queen Residence"


The Ice Queen on her sledge, the cold blue icicles, turquoise and silver baubles, the cobbled path, the picket fence, the lollipop trees, the hedges...

All totally different, totally unique. Impossible to judge.

So if you are looking for a festive fun activity, consider this one. It provided a week's worth of entertainment and could make an amazing centre piece...

On reflection, the hardest part is assembling the house. Once the house is all set hard and waiting to be decorated, that is when the real FUN begins!
So why not have a go...

Keep our top tips and checklist to hand and do follow the IKEA instructions. As I explained to my brood, they will have tested these recipes numerous times to make sure they are fool proof!

So what theme would you pick for yours? And more importantly, will you be making one in the coming weeks?
