As a child, gingerbread houses never really appealed to me. Being a lazy individual, I did not really want to spend a large amount of time creating something out of sweets and not be able to eat the finished product. But, now that I'm older and wiser, I decided to give the construction of a gingerbread house a try...

So, I went out and purchased this kit at Harris Teeter that was on sale for $9.99....

I was in awe of all the pieces that I had to place on the house (it took me a good 20 minutes to make the icing start to come out).

The foundation was simple enough!

Okay, maybe the icing tip was a little large...

There was a casualty in the process...

Okay, multiple casualties!..

There weren't enough of the large candies in the bag so I improvised!

Silly snowman, you aren't a walkway!

Small details are not really my strong suit. 

At least something went right on the roof!

Home Sweet Home?

Never again will I spend money on a food product I cannot consume. Happy Holidays!
