Otherwise known as Gingerbread Houses. I’m not sure if these were made of gingerbread or not but they certainly took some effort and a lot of candies…and they did smell so delicious. You just never know what you may come across on the Friday after Thanksgiving when you are in a mall. No! I did not go for that shopping frenzy – we arrived much later in the afternoon. I wanted to hit a couple of stores that they have back in Missouri that they don’t have where I live now.
Have you ever made a gingerbread house before? Eaten one?

How sweet it is!
Wasn’t it Jackie Gleason who used to say that? 🙂
Hansel and Gretel would go nuts 😀 These look amazing!
I was thinking the same thing when I took these photos – LOL
🙂
ZOWEE these are quite elaborate! I’ve never made one, but I have nibbled on a few. We used to make gingerbread men when we were kids at Christmas time.
Nibble nibble little mouse, who’s that nibbling at my house? 🙂 I think I made gingerbread once but it was long ago when the kids appreciated it.
Now that cannot be eaten they are too beautiful…
I don’t know! I wanted to pick at a couple of them to see how they tasted 😉
Those are fantastic! Ours do not ever look that way. But we faithfully make one EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR.-Ashley
These were at Plaza Frontenac. I made one with the kids once with graham crackers and canned icing. First and last time. I applaud you for doing it every year.
Yes, when our sons were younger we HAD to make a Gingerbread house…now, they’ll probably sleep through Christmas!
Now I want to make some gingerbread for some reason 😉 Awwwww, I recall when mine grew up and Christmas morning was just sleep late morning.
These are incredible, Teri. Gingerbread houses just weren’t a “thing” in my house nor were gingerbread men. We did have plenty of ravioli, though. It all balances out. 🙂
Ravioli men? hehehe
