Gingerbread House
With gingerbread houses steadily growing in popularity in recent years, we thought this would be the perfect time to try and make our own! Plus, if it turned out alright, wouldn't it be the sweetest home made present?!
We got this kit from Sainsbury's. It comes with everything already included, all we needed was some butter. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. You make your gingerbread mix, roll it out and cut to shape using the stencils. There was even enough mix left to cut out a few shaped biscuits too!

Unfortunately, it appears that our lack of patience got the best of us and we could not, no matter how hard we tried, stick the other side of the roof on! Every time we did, it just collapsed!
However, it was still pretty tasty, so after decorating what we had, we broke it up and ate the lot! Well, it is Christmas! It turns out, our baking skills aren't as refined as we thought. Luckily, its possible to buy pre-made ones. Which we might sneakily say we made anyway....!
