This is probably one of
my most favourite Blogmas posts to be writing. There is nothing I enjoy more in
the Christmas season than to spend a whole afternoon making and creating our
family gingerbread house!
My brother and I have
been making this together for the past couple of years and make quite a good
double act. He does the manual labor task of measuring ingredients and baking
the actual gingerbread house. We usually construct it together, before him
leaving me to decorate it in peace (he just doesn’t quite understand the whole
one Smartie per roof tile situation). This year, I have thrown a spanner in the
works and bought a pretty little gingerbread house from Costco. It was a
complete bargain at £5.99 for everything including sweets and icing. So we are
throwing all the rulebooks out the window this year to make this epic little
house, which hopefully will remain standing!
Constructing the
Gingerbread house is harder than it looks believe me! But through a lot of team
work, and being told off for not ‘holding it properly’, our house was
constructed. I love how perfectly unperfect this looks. I started off with the
idea that everything would have its own little place, but after working with my
brother realised that we had two very different visions that slotted together
alright in the end!
I really enjoy making and
decorating Gingerbread houses with my brother. It’s something that I now really
look forward to doing every time the Christmas season begins.
I would love to see your
Gingerbread houses if you have made them this year! Tweet them to me
@Bellamomentox or tag me in them on Instagram!
Happy Christmas
