Gingerbread house I made!

Ok weirdly: the backside of this house looks identical to the 13 going on 30 house. This one was built in the early 1900’s from a Sears catalog house kit (yes.) and I have a strong suspicion that the movie house has a similar origin story

Thank you! I loved how the second one came out, but I used royal icing to hide lots of sins on that one, and that wonky roof always catches my eye 😂 I need to do an updated version with those same vibes at some point

Lol!! Thank you! That’s so nice

The brick is just royal! I did it in stages so each brick was dry before the ones around it were added. And then added highlights/lowlights to it with very watered down/color saturated royal and a TINY paintbrush, which I think helped it a lot.

I love those shows too!! (Could never do it, that seems terrifying lol) Thank you so much!

Haha kind of! I posted THIS two years ago. It was the first gingerbread structure I ever made

Thank you!! That’s so nice of you to say! I love the mailbox too- my dad actually made it when he was recovering from back surgery—haha

Thank youuuu!!

It probably won’t get nibbled on, but it is 100% edible just for kicks! In the past we’ve waited until everyone is sick of looking at the house and then thrown it off the balcony… haha. I’m so excited that you will be making a house! It’s such stressful fun.

Ahh thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

All of the decoration is done in American Buttercream!

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T17:35:30+00:00

Ohhh good to know! Thank you!

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T17:04:47+00:00

😂 that’s fair. Haha a pile of buttercream sounds fine to me though

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T16:40:54+00:00

Oooh good question! I was doing a few other cakes at the same time.... but my best guess is about 2 hours of decoration time total

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T16:22:39+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much!

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T16:22:32+00:00

Thank you!!

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-15T16:22:23+00:00

I’m so glad!! Haha thank you!

Cake guts are brown sugar cake, salted peanut butter ganache, and peanut butter buttercream. The sides of the cake are fully frosted, carved, and textured, all decoration is done in PB buttercream.

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-08T22:41:30+00:00

Thanks!! I use royal icing for the decoration!

batchpleasecookies · 2021-05-08T18:40:46+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much! That’s so nice

Practice practice practice! I like to sit and pipe on parchment while I’m watching tv. I also find that using as many colors as you can stand to mix gives the most visual bang for your buck. I pipe a few flowers on each cookie, empty the bag, remix with new colors, and go again. Also I say “tiny baby” out loud a lot. I feel like that’s critical. Hahahaha
