The PERFECT gingerbread house!


Cheryl had no idea how much trouble we had with our gingerbread house but we had the same experience together a few years ago and bought the kiddos an awesome gift! It was a gingerbread house that can be decorated over and over...with a plastic base...that is dishwasher safe! We couldn't wait to try it after the other one fell apart:).




It was just as easy as we hoped it would be! We took turns spreading the frosting on then the kids went to town making a pattern on the roof with red and green m&m's. They spent a lot of time on it and it turned out very cute! We didn't have to buy any candy either, just used leftover from Halloween and cookie baking.


they were allowed to nibble on it over the next couple days...

before doing major damage on it Sunday morning before church:)! (They made it on Friday). Saturday night I told them that they could have it for breakfast the next morning and they were SO excited!


there was still some left after church so they (together with daddy)
finished it off throughout the day. then i put it in the dishwasher and it came out perfect! can't WAIT to go to next year's gingerbread party with my perfect house...that will NOT fall apart:)!
