Day 15 - Gingerbread chalet

So it's more of a chalet than a house but I'm still quite proud of my first gingerbread house. I did make one in hospital 3 years ago but that was shared with another patient so it was nice to have all the creative control this time. Icing was a bit tricky as it was rather gritty, not nice & smooth like the pack suggested. But I managed. Couldn't find the sweets I wanted in the shops either so I improvised with what I had to hand.

I'm already planning a bigger house for next year! Anyone else getting creative in the kitchen this Christmas?
