This was my first attempt at making a “real” from scratch gingerbread house. It was a lot of fun and also a learning experience. It took 2 weeks of working 12+ hour days to finish it. I actually made over 1700 little gingerbread shingles to go on the roof… I was seeing little brown squares for days! LOL I entered it into a local contest. If you’d like to vote for it (I could really use your votes!!!!) you can go to my blog and find out how. Thanks so much!!! judyscakes.blogspot.com
