    Pictured right shows lighted house. With gingerbread cookies, colorful gumdrops, peppermint candies and rows of frosting. These are not edible, but show well, the very same effect with the lights below. And can be made of edible products just as easily. I encourage you to make your own patterns. It isn't as difficult as you may think. HELP
    .
    To get "windows" sprinkle broken hard candies in windows and the candy will melt while cookies bake. I prefer using Butterscoth hard candy rounds so I have yellow glowing windows.
    .
     For lighting, I cut a hole about 2 inches, in my cardboard before I put the house on it, for the light bulb to come through. Once house is assembled and placed on display it, place the bulb inside and plug it in.
    .
    Also, I simply lay a large plastic bag over mine when I am not displaying it. This keeps it free of dust throughout the entire season. Break and eat when the fun is over!

    The Gingerbread Architect Recipes and Blueprints for Twelve Classic American Homes by Susan Matheson and Lauren Chattman. Here’s your chance to build a traditional Cape Cod house in freshly baked gingerbread, complete with breath-mint pinnacles, Twizzler shingles, and a brick-red fruit-leather chimney. Prefer nineteenth-century New York elegance? Why not whip up an urban brownstone, embellished with crushed butterscotch windows, Tootsie Roll staircase posts, and a front courtyard tiled in mini Chiclets. Is the Santa Fe look more your style? Try a gingerbread pueblo, landscaped with rock-candy cacti and turbinado-sugar sand. Featuring detailed blueprints and elevations of the houses alongside baking directions and essential construction notes, this modern guide to the traditional holiday craft of creating gingerbread houses has projects for bakers of all levels, from novice to advanced. Detailed instructions cover everything from baking and assembling the walls to piping icing and landscaping the yard. And to help match gingerbread houses to bakers–and their little helpers–each house has a difficulty rating, ranging from one gingerbread man to four. 10.1x7.5 inch, 144 pages, hard back, English, full color. #60-1532 $22.50

Attach "dutch doors" and cow before setting roof in place.
    3. Gambrel Roof - Measure and mark center line of gingerbread roof. Use a ruler as a guide and gently score line with a thin sharp knife. Each pass with the knife should go a little deeper until the roof breaks apart.

Then overlap top half of roof to give a gambrel effect.
    4. Panoramic Barn ( not shown ) - Before assembling barn cut opening in end of barn for large door. Cut opening 3 1/4 high and 2 3/4 wide. Fill barn with chocolate animals before setting roof in place. Mold 2 large doors in chocolate. Use a thin hot knife to cut door apart leaving center board on each one. Use cut edges of door to attach to sides of opening. Leave doors slightly open to be able to peek inside and see the animals. A "dutch door" in the other end of the barn helps visibility.
