This is my first gingerbread house and I made for the centerpiece at my church dessert fundraiser. Except for the cotton ball "smoke" and the board it sitting on everything is edible. Used sheet gelatin for window glass, fondant for snow and stones, ice cream cones for the trees and pretzels for a woodpile. I had intended to include a snowman too but I forgot it!! Maybe next year. The I got my template from the "The Gingerbread Architect" and I want to thank Sweetopia for the inspiration and tips from her blog!
