Marian says thank you!!

Marissa says that this ic cooooool;)

That is so adorable!!

Thanks Rylan, your comment got in there while I was writing the last reply. I think I might try a local one we have this year. I’ll keep you posted!

babskitchen,

Thanks for the reply! I don’t know about winning any contests though!

How long will a ‘house’ last before drying out? I’m guessing 2 days to a week for sure; obviously the earlier the fresher it will taste. If you’d like to keep it on display, I’d suggest maybe wrapping it in cellophane to keep off dust and help somewhat with air exposure.

We don’t usually eat the ones I make so I’m not sure though, sorry.

If you’d like to keep your house for a reallllly long time, my girlfriend kept hers for a year in a sealed plastic box, and it looked fine the 2nd Christmas. Obviously they didn’t eat it though.

Hope that helps!!

Marian, the gingerbread house looks totally AWESOME!

You just made me realize that gingerbread season is coming soon. Have you ever thought of joining any competitions?

Wow! You are so talented, Marian! You could definitely win a one of the contests we talked about. How long will that “house” last before drying out? You are inspiring me to try a REALLY simple one for the first time this Christmas.

@ Melanie: that should read..move in!! I want to move in

I don’t care if it’s a facade! I want to move it!
You’ve combined three of my favourite things ever…gingerbread, Halloween and haunted houses.
I love it.

Those books sound amazing!
I should attempt one!! Very inspirational!

Wow! You’ve done a wonderful job! Planning on making my first gingerbread house for christmas! I’ll definately have to check out Teresa Layman’s books!
