Creative Tuesdays - Christmas Gingerbread House

I got this inexpensive gingerbread house kit from Ikea and asked daughter L to make it up for me. You have to make your own icing to decorate and then glue the gingerbread house pieces together. L found this wonderful gingerbread house icing recipe which uses only 3 ingredients, cream of tartar, icing sugar and egg whites. And of course, being Ikea this kit came with minimal assembly instructions in picture format!

Here is the result of L's efforts and our contribution to the Creative Tuesdays 'Christmas Gingerbread' theme:

Gingerbread House

Merry Christmas Everyone!


The Gingerbread House is all decorated and ready for eating, thanks to L. I won't post tomorrow in honour of Christmas Day.

I thought this article was informative and yet funny:
The Christmas Invitation

Toronto Christmas Market

We received a Dylan's Candy Bar Gingerbread House Kit yesterday from our financial advisor. This means Christmas is officially underway! I put the tree up and laid out all the decorations. K was watching 'The Santa Clause' that night, one of his favourite movies.

Everyone is starting to arrive at Mr. Toast's Virtual Christmas Tea Party. It's fun stopping by there to see the current goings on.

'My Kitchen Snippets' recently posted her recipe for Redang Chicken Curry and I thought, I have to visit a local Malaysian Restaurant to try this dish, it sounds delicious. So, it's on my list of things to do over the holidays hopefully.

Another event I hope to attend is 'Lowe's Toronto Christmas Market', which is something new in the city, European inspired. It sounds like fun. It starts today, until Dec 12th. It is a very cold weekend, unfortunately.
