Before You Bake
When creating a gingerbread project, there are A LOT of things to consider before you even pick up your spatula! In this section, I’ll talk about finding project ideas, planning/ project management, prepping your baseboard and creating patterns (blueprints)
The Dough
Not all gingerbread recipes are created equal, especially when it comes to competitive gingerbread projects! In this section, I will share my favorite recipes and discuss how each one is used. I will also discuss cutting, molding and baking gingerbread.
Construction
This is where the fun begins! In this section, I will discuss how to put a strong gingerbread structure together as well as all the extras that go along with it: windows, porches, chimneys, stairs, stonework, brickwork and the dreaded roof!
Decorations
You can have the best well-built structure, but without out thoughtful/purposeful decorations, your project could be sunk! In this section, I’ll talk about landscaping, water features and other small little details that will make your project stand out.
Competition Time!
Let the nail biting begin!! The days before a contest can be the most nerve-racking! In this section, I’ll discuss what emergency supplies to pack, how to safely transport your gingerbread creation to the contest and
what to expect when you get there.
Gingerbread Parties
So, you’re not into all that competition stuff! That’s ok! Creating gingerbread houses during the holidays is a fun family tradition for all ages! In this section, I’ll discuss gingerbread party ideas, how to prepare and set up for your own gingerbread party.
