And That is How the Cookie Crumbles..


O.K., So here’s the story. At Halloween I got the baking bug and had an excellent idea that I should create a ginger bread house for Halloween…a spooky ginger bread house. This house would be built so well I could scrape off all the scary and make it into a traditional Christmas ginger bread house by scraping off all the “scary”.
Anyway, last October was the wettest October on record and with the 11 inches of rain received; my well-built and crisp gingerbread house “slagged”. It crumbled with in a couple of days. You can’t tell from the picture but the back of the house is caving in.







Anyway, I had to rebuild and you can see my new gingerbread house that I built before Christmas and just threw away unceremoniously yesterday. So in your face Brian…this is not gingerbread house amateur hour.

Totally edible and as you can see from the power cord on the left, it does light up.

You should be on Food Network Challenge or whatever it's called. Only I wouldn't wish for your creation to fall over and break when you try to move it, even though that's the best part of the show.
