Gingerbread House

Image
Years ago I would watch the ,  Omni Grove Park Inn National  Gingerbread  House  Competition  Display in Asheville, North   Carolina, on HGTV.  I was always in awe of all the gingerbread pieces the contestants would come up with, and I  thought that one day I would try one of my own. Every year, my family and I like to visit, Peddler's Village in New Hope, PA,  for their annual Christmas Festival, and that is when I realized, they host a Gingerbread competition of their own!  I knew one year I would enter....and finally, this was the year!! My son and I spent two months creating our very first gingerbread house. We had so much fun, and even though we didn't win, it was a wonderful experience and I'm glad to say that I finally did it!! :) Have you ever entered a Gingerbread Competition? Our masterpiece...  Trees from ice cream cones and icing  Sugar glass windows and pond  Jelly beans as rocks for our chimney  Fondant Santa and snowman  Mini-wheats r
