We sat down last night and put together our gingerbread homes! I cut out most of the prep work by purchasing the limited-edition Gingerbread-flavored Graham Crackers. Simply pop apart, mix mortar (1 1/3 c powdered sugar and scant 2 tsp water - this is glue!), apply and go for it!Note A's architecturally-significant gingy house, complete with lemon gumdrop "uplighting". I also made gingerbread cookies, with a yummy lemon-sugar glaze. The lemon really cuts it from being a sugary-sweet cookie to a delicacy.
Next year I'll need two boxes of grahams to myself and a larger plate. I'm drafting the plans already.
