Orthodox Christmas is on January 7, Santa gave us a box. It was a set of gingerbread cookies and decorations for the assembly of a gingerbread house. When we started to make the house, adults helped children or vice versa - everybody had fun.
First, we examined the gingerbread cookies and started making icing for drawings and gluing parts of the house.
Painting you have to compress the icing bag with force. The first drawings appeared on the front and back sides of the house.
Then the responsible work began, gluing of gingerbread details with icing. Front, rear walls, two side walls.
We fixed both halves of the roof with a thick layer of icing, put the chimney and started decorating the house. There are marzipan people, marmalade, cookies and bagels in the set. We have had enough icing and all the decorations were placed on the gingerbread house.
Have you ever had such set for Christmas? Would you like to make the gingerbread house with your loved ones?
P.S. This house is edible during two months, if stored in cool conditions.

Hello Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteThe house was very nice. No, I have never made a gingerbreadhouse. But I'm sure it was very fun.
Hugs
Yes, it was Marit.
DeleteHugs!
It is wonderful to see so much activity at your bird feeders, Nadezda. What fine entertainment they provide.
ReplyDeleteDavid, the birds are often on my garden birdfeeder. I give them seeds and lard.
DeleteBig WOW!!!!! Outstanding the gingerbread house, I am impressed. :) I have never do it. Would be so nice to create a gingerbread house with my loved ones...maybe this year... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day dear Nadezda, hugs. :)))
Of course it would be nice Agnes. Sure your gingerbread house looks pretty.
DeleteIt is beautiful! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteBonita casa dulce amiga. Viéndola tan linda da pena comérsela.
ReplyDeleteBuena noche Nadezda.
Un abrazo.
Ha ha, me da pena de comersela thambien Laura! Pero es muy dulce, I prefiero comer el techo :-)
DeleteMe encanta la casita, tiene que estar riquísima. Los pájaros me gusta verlos. Besos.
ReplyDeleteSí, Teresa, la casa es sabrosa, pero demasiado dulce, prefiero comer menos azúcar.
DeleteMuy pronto mi familia se lo comerá.
Dear Nadezda, wow!!! Your are an artist. Such a lovely ginger bread house. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Wish you all my best

Thank you Elizabeth for your kind wishes.
DeleteHugs!
What a beautiful little house! It must have been fun to build it. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think to eat it?
Have a great weekend!
Oh, Sara 'to eat or not to eat' - what is the question. I'd like to eat only gingerbread because I do not eat much sugar. I hope my family will help in eating.
DeleteIt must have been sad earring it!
ReplyDeleteI agree Sue it's a pity to eat it.
DeleteThat is, of course, also a German custom. I have never made a house myself but have given bought ones as presents to children. I like to eat gingerbread biscuits and spiced cakes with chocolate on them. Lebkuchen and Spekulatius in German.
ReplyDeleteDear Friko,
DeleteI'm glad to hear from you. You're right, this is a German custom and this set is named Hexenhaus. It was bought on internet here, made in Germany. I love gingerbread as well and often use ginger in cooking meals.
Thanks for your comment.
Good job, Nadezda! It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a good new week!
Hugs
Thank you Tania.
DeleteBesos!
