The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book as the challenge recipes.
Man, I'm finishing this at the last moment and with copious help from my wonderful, dearest hubby. We had some difficulties but had a fabulous time putting it together. Hubby helped with the rolling, cutting, and gluing together of the house. (Had I been gluing it together, disaster in the form of sugar-burned Sarah would have occurred). Our gingerbread house is perhaps not perfect, but it is a home of love.
I went with The Great Scandinavian Baking Book recipe (because it required less time, sadly) and decided to stick with a mostly red and white theme.. except for my little bushes, which I adore.
As my brother-in-law loves to tell me, my blog sucks now. I know and I'm sorry but I find myself in a rut. I feel so energyless all the time. Perhaps it's just the end of the year or the stress of my new job, but hopefully I'll get back in my rhythm soon.
