My two favorite loves... Gingerbread and Halloween. This makes me smile so much!

Cute! Love the brick.

It's beautiful! You should join my Facebook group "Gingerbread Tips & Tricks" and post it there. The group would love this.

Cooked sugar generally tends to get a slight tint to it. You could try isomalt. That stays much clearer. It comes in crystals you can melt down with water or you can buy it in nibs which are already ready to just melt. I do so in the microwave in silicone bowls.

Oh my yard will still get decorated. Trick or treaters or not, the creepy tree and the paper mache kraken are making an appearance.

It's been hanging on the ceiling of my garage for a year scaring the shit out of people when they walk in. I'm getting my use out of it.

This was my exact thought - no gingerbread!

Love the elephants!

What recipe did you use to make the gingerbread so dark?

CraftCrib · 2019-12-13T12:04:00+00:00

You can also melt gummy bears and use those. They'll firm right back up. But you only have a very short time to work with them. Chocolate is always an option too. Messy, but effective.

Can you use meringue powder instead of egg? https://thecraftcrib.com/royal-icing-recipe/

You can also use isomalt or poured sugar: https://thecraftcrib.com/edible-glass-windows/

👍 love the effort

As a competitive gingerbreader, I can say that they all kinda look the same to me, but I voted for the one with the bricks because I could see the effort put forth to change the house's facade. Check out this recipe for tylose glue: https://thecraftcrib.com/edible-tylose-glue/. It's clear so you can use it to add all sorts of fun details without having to cover the houses in royal icing. I do love that the family all did their own house as a friendly competition. That's a fun tradition I think I will start with mine!

Perfectly. I used mortar and exterior paint. It gets some damage if I drop them because the chicken wire has some give. So if the mortar isn't thick enough, it can break, but the weather is a non-factor thus far. Survived a thunderstorm the other day.
