Casa de Flamingo Christmas

by Terie V

We live in the desert, but I love pink flamingos, so we be borrowed a theme from Florida. My husband channels Clark Griswold (Christmas Vacation movie) every year, so our yard is over the top with air blown tropical Santa's, penguins and snowmen. Pink lights, pink flamingo lights, holographic palms, etc. It's wild!

This year I decided to bring the theme inside with my gingerbread house. It's a beach cottage with my beloved flamingos. The first gumpaste ones were better, but BIG. They were flamingo-zillas! My photo isn't great. The gingerbread is covered in fondant with a siding impression. The roof is gumpaste. Trees, etc are gumpaste. I had to make myself stop making things for it.
