WOW! Not Your Typical Gingerbread House


Here at Gingerbreadfun.com we encourage taking Gingerbread to “other levels” and not all creations should be “traditional” as non-traditional can also be fun! We posted a while back a unique Gingerbread House creation from the folks at Gingerbread Ghetto and today we are sharing their creation of a Gingerbread House Check Cashing shop.  The Gingerbread House Check Cashing sop is decorated with red licorace rope to spell out the word “LOANS” and even has signs stuck on that say “Check$ Ca$hed” and “Money Orders”. Check out other nontraditional Gingerbread Ghetto themes here.

Hard to Find Gingerbread Boy & Girl Sweatshirt

Gingerbread Sweatshirt

I am always searching for Gingerbread inspired clothing and it is nearly impossible to find any even during the Holidays. You either have to have something “custom made” or know a “handy dandy” crafter or someone with sewing skills to have something made. I tell all my friends and family to be on the look out for Gingerbread items during the year as that is always the most perfect gift for me!! Visit here for details on this fabulous Gingerbread sweartshirt. Sweatshirt comes in black or dark blue and there are also zipup hoodies in many colors. Love them!

Using Fondant and Gum Paste to Decorate Gingerbread Houses


We found some really amazing Gingerbread Houses and Gingerbread Cookies that are highly detailed and decorated with fondant and gum paste (visit here). Fondant is made from water and sugar and sometimes lemon is added to flavor the fondant and I have fondant where almond is added.  Fondant is used for covering pastries and confections and creating a smooth surface for adding decorations and if you watch any of the popular tv shows like Amazing Wedding Cakes, My Fair Wedding David Tutera and Cake Boss, you see magnificent cakes and nearly every single cake is covered in fondant or has fondant decorations. If you are creative or want to try your hand and creating some super neat Gingerbread Houses this year then why not try working with fondant and seeing just what is possible. Like David Tutera says, “don’t just dream, but dream BIGGER”! Let your imagination soar!
