Gingerbread house of Wakefield Inn B&B

Front of InnI entered the Stonegate Manor gingerbread contest, and pictured is my entry.  It was so much fun playing around with various types of candy. Making a replica of the Inn really challanged me to think outside the typical gingerbread fixings and find solutions for realistic looks.  

I used red confectionary coating and cut out pieces for shigles for the roof.  Hot Tamales for the bricks, and even used fish crackers in the pond and the water was made of sugar.  The lattice is spagetti dipped in white chocolate.

Next year we will have a kid’s gingerbread making class, and have fun creating a great take home work of art.
