This is the third video in our three part series on baking with Gingerbread. If you haven’t yet, make sure you check out the recipes for how to make Gingerbread Dough, and Gingerbread Men. This video is my favourite though as it was so much fun to make. I vaguely remember trying to make a gingerbread house from scratch as a teen but I think I tried to use cake or something as I remember the edges wouldn’t stand up or go together.
I did a lot of research before starting this project and the best tip I read was to use a soup can to keep the frame of the house up when you’re putting it together. It totally works and makes building the house so much easier. Did you think that I was classy when you saw my jar of Jamie Oliver pasta sauce? HAHA…I wanted to use my No Name soup of vegetarian chili but thought that might make me a little trashy for the viewers. Gotta keep up appearances!
Anyway, take this project on as you’ll LOVE it. It’s such a fabulous family task and you can let the kids go crazy decorating it.
