White House Gingerbread House

The White House in Washington D.C. always creates such a magical holiday at Christmas time. A few years back a spectacular Gingerbread house was created with white chocolate columns, sugar windows, and a foundation made from chocolate glue. The White House Gingerbread house, created by White House pastry chef Thaddeus DuBois, was on display in the State Dining Room. I am very excited to learn about the 2008 White House Christmas and what the decorations will entail. Visit back at Gingerbreadfun.com as I will surely be posting up pictures and details as soon as the announcement is made.

Gingerbread Journeys

Came upon this really neat composition of Gingerbread and thought I would share it with my fellow GIngerbread fans!

Gingerbread, with its myriad forms, alluring aromas, and symbolic significance, has been a quintessential holiday treat for centuries. At this time of year Gingerbread men begin to run amok in the kitchen, sticky fingers stud gaily decorated gingerbread houses with edible decor, and pastry chefs produce imaginative confections to delight the eye and the palette. As a life-long Gingerbread enthusiast, I’ve munched on all manner of piquant and pungent cakes and cookies, from the delicate ginger wafers baked by descendants of the Moravian settlers in North Carolina to the dense pain d’épices of Dijon, France. But I’ve refrained from sampling some splendid creations that were just too dazzling to destroy. Read More.

Mid-Century Modern Gingerbread House

What a neat Gingerbread House I found! Move over graham cracker cottages; there’s a new architect on the block and she’s a mid-century modern fan. This is a very unique twist to that old favorite. This modern Gingerbread house features a garage, a rock garden, and palm tress. The structure can be personalized and is 100% edible–within 30 days of unwrapping, that is. Comes fully assembled from Red Envelope, or just look at the pictures to build your own.
