Wonky spire, but it only has to last another two days Grin

Please post a pic if you have made one!

Wow that looks amazing.

VoyageInTheDark · 23/12/2022 15:36

Wow that's amazing! I haven't even attempted one as I know my limits, we just made gingerbread men!

SirenSays · 23/12/2022 15:37

Thats adorable!!! My gingerbread houses usually look like an edible construction site

whatisheupto · 23/12/2022 15:38

My daughters effort ( the thought of doing it was more fun than actually doing it apparently)

My 10 year old designed and made this one :-) quite impressed with the drawbridge!

These are all fabulous! I love them all Grin

@Willowswood your piping skills are insane

DS1 has made a railway station, I'll post a pic of it later! I love how different they all are...gingerbread is an underrated art form!

👏 These are super impressive!

I’m seeking inspiration. Some of DCs cousins are with their French grandparents for Christmas and all of them have agreed we’ll do a gingerbread house competition in the new year. A very competitive pack of children v artistically challenged parents whose walls normally fall over!

Ghostlyfeet · 23/12/2022 19:46

This is mine and my daughters effort

That is beautiful. You have talent, no doubt. Gorgeous, and I have to say everyone’s pictures of their houses are also amazing. The ones I see here in the USA don’t even come close and I’ve seen a bunch in competitions. Well done. Very creative too.

lucysmam · 23/12/2022 22:24

This is ours; as many sweets were eaten as made it onto the house...probably more tbh. It has several structural issues going on & I'm surprised it hasn't collapsed yet

These are all amazing! Well done everyone. I’m intrigued as to how you’re doing all your other Christmas prep while making these incredible constructions!

Stichintime · 23/12/2022 22:52

May be a silly question, because I'm not mad keen on ginger bread, but do they get eaten or is there a lot of left over waste?

Suzi888 · 23/12/2022 22:56

Love them all, wish I had gotten one now. 🥹

EscapeTheCastle · 23/12/2022 22:58

I always get my icing wrong. How do I make it nice and strong for piping?

Mix the icing sugar with egg whites, not water.

WashAsDelicates · 23/12/2022 23:16

That church is fantastic!

What have people used for the windows? I use boiled sweets but the results are inconsistent. This year very frothy and sticky (though they still work).

Unfortunately I can't post pictures from the app, but I'll try the website shortly.

Op that is amazing
