Gingerbread....reminds me when I decided to make a gingerbread house for Xmas one year. Starting out all gung-ho.As I dont bake, I bought the ginger bread house all ready for building all I had to do was assemble, ice and decorate. I also had on hand all the candies for the finishing touches on the house too.
Now to make the icing...it would not stick or
harden, after the third attempt, covered in icing, looking like a mess! Thinking who is going to eat THIS.. I packed it all away into the garbage and ate all the candies.
I have yet to attempt trying to make another gingerbread house. ;))
