My Aunt Linda does a phenomenal job on gingerbread houses...so I asked for her recipe for the icing...and any tips she might have...I love the icing recipe that she gave me...I learned that it needs to stay a bit before decorating into it, but in the end, it was so much better than the store bought icing. I let the kids decorate so, each of them had a part to do. Katie did the sleigh, Melissa did a lot of the house, Mark did the pathway of M&M's and the back of the house, and Matthew did the reindeer. I did the roof::)! In case you were wondering...the can and the maple syrup was to keep the walls from falling.
The pictures below are just a sample of what my aunt has done! She is an amazing woman! She's a nurse and has always worked very hard and sometimes late hours...I've grown up with stories of her gingerbread houses that she worked on in the wee hours of the morning! I guess nursing can prepare you to work that late! She reminds me of Proverbs 31, but especially this one part...
"and her lamp does not go out at night."
