lighting up centerpieces, holiday houses and more!

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,

BARN 1. Mold farm animals out of chocolate
coating in appropriate colors.
2. Dutch Door - Use a thin
sharp knife. Before assembling barn- lay barn side on counter top and score
opening gently - a little deeper each time. Opening should be approx. 2
1/4" high and 1" wide. Remember - gingerbread can be easily mended with
Royal Icing or Perma Ice. Assemble barn sides. 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. If it breaks into more than 2 pieces
- Remember - It's a "gingerbread" barn and can be mended easily with Royal
Icing or Perma Ice. Attach bottom half of roof first. 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.

of chocolate coating in appropriate colors.
