Gingerbread Cathedral with
Candy Stained Glass Windows

by K Coutinho
(Indiana)

Hi! I participate in a historical re-enactment group, and on a whim, made some candy stained-glass cookie panels following an old recipe I had on a scrap of paper - rolled cookie dough, cut holes, crushed candies, bake. Turns out to be virtually identical to your "candy windows" instructions.

I had also glued the four panels together with icing, and put a few votive candles inside for that lovely glow, the same as your Lighted Gingerbread Houses idea (but your idea of wired christmas lights is probably safer).

I'm now on a quest to make something with a lot of candy windows, to show off the gorgeous glowing candy glass, so of course my first thought was "Cathedral." Unfortunately, I can't find any useful patterns online, not even of a paper cathedral that I could convert into patterns for gingerbread.

I'm looking for something like this but maybe not so complicated

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Richard, you are wise to not click on just anyone's links and I can understand your scepticism without a photo of the stained glass cookies (I'd like to see them too.)

I just wanted to point out that I approved those links when I approved the submission. I checked them out (by copying and pasting the URL into my browser - safer than just clicking since you can't always see where the link is actually going), and felt they added value to the request. I made sure they'd open a new browser window too (so you wouldn't be taken off of this site.)

by: Richard

Personally, I'd like to see a pic here before I start going through the links you posted. Sorry. I'm on this site for folks who want to share ideas here. I do not mind going further if I see something here, initially. Please do not "use" this site.

Maybe I missed it but I have no idea of your talent, ambition...or not. Right now I have have more respect for 3, 4-5 year old children that have put up their projects. Please submit a picture, in the future.
