Gingerbread House

Here is the gingerbread house that we built yesterday afternoon. I bought the moulds from http://www.chefstoolbox.com.au/. The kids had lots of fun. I think they enjoyed eating the lollies as much as decorating.

Kayla and I did the pre assembly, before the kids got home. I made Zac come and help, he put one lolly on!!!

Jarred had great steady hands, for putting the lollies on


Kloe worked out the piping bag and was a little whiz with it. She piped and Jarred stuck.

And their finished creation.
