Hansel & Gretel House: Day Two

I secured the roof on the gingerbread house last night. It was quite steep using the cutter set compared with last years one so it was tricky.


We headed out to a sweet shop in town this morning and had a lot of fun picking out some things to decorate the house with. He didn't have a great choice of light weight sweets and mentioned something about not managing to get hold of any Halloween themed sweets. We also got some honey hazelnuts from the market.


After lunch we set about sticking on some decorations.


We learnt that jelly beans are too heavy to stay on and that things slide if you pile them on top of one another like we did with the roof tiles! There was an almighty avalanche off the roof at one point and we thought it was going to be ruined but we managed to rescue it!


We are quite pleased with it though.


What do you think?



It's going to require a lot of will power from Cameron not to lick or pick at it until tomorrow evening I think!
