The kids and I put together a gingerbread house over Christmas break...we actually never finished decorating it, but the other night they wanted to go ahead and eat it. It was an inexpensive house (aka: super cheap) I picked up at Target so I did not expect for it be very tasty, but I agreed to let the kids tear it up. They had fun taking it apart and eating the candy, but everybody agreed that the gingerbread did not taste good.

I can only handle so much these days with all the kids, but I hope next year we can make our own gingerbread house that looks cool and is actually delicious. We have an awesome cast iron gingerbread mold to make a gingerbread barn with animals.... be looking for pictures next Christmas :)

Amy - we bought the same Target gingerbread house -and the cookie part was inedible. I also had thoughts of trying to make the gingerbread next Christmas. It won't be as perfect looking, but hopefully tastier!
I never heard of cast iron molds for gingerbread buildings. That should be facinating next year!
