A couple of years ago I made a haunted gingerbread house and took it to work. It sat there for about a week. The funny thing was that the longer it sat there the more warped it got. The 2nd floor started sagging, the ground floor, which was made out of sugar wafers covered in royal icing started to curl up - it was great! The support pillars for the 2nd floor are pretzels. The rail around the 2nd floor is made up of little "bone" candies. I might do it again this year.
Usually gingerbread houses are a Christmas thing. I thought I'd do something different. It's fun to take a tradition from one area and put it into something unexpected - kind of like the idea of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Think beyond the stereo types and traditions! Dare to be different!
