Seasonal Sundays #2- Building a Gingerbread House

Since about mid November, whilst scrolling through Pinterest, I have seen various pins of gingerbread houses. With this being a mostly American tradition, I've never built one, although I do absolutely LOVE gingerbread- there's something so warming and Christmas-y about it! So with that in mind, whilst wandering around Tesco's, I came across a 'make your own gingerbread house' kit and I just couldn't leave it on the shelf- granted, it is probably marketed at 4 year olds but ya know, young at heart and all that...

Soooooo, here it is.

                     Step One- Stick the 4 walls together and ice the roof
                          Step Two- place the 2 roof tiles on the house
         Step Three- ice the windows- it's easier if the gingerbread is flat to the table, therefor it's better to do this first, however I just placed the whole house on its side.
                 Step Four- Be really clumsy and fail at successfully moving the house...
                             Step Five- Compose yourself and re-build.
            Step Six- The best part- decorate the house with sweets and icing
Step Seven- add icing to look like icicles and your gingerbread house is complete!
