The reindeer would love to eat this roof!

Christmas Gingerbread House

This was my first Christmas Gingerbread house. I had made a few Haunted Gingerbread Mansions and loved using different ingredients for decor and decided to try it out on one for Christmas. Now that I have the hang of it I might be able to enter a competition this year even just for fun! I went from trying shredded wheat to sliced almonds on the roof to cookies for doors to using chocolate bars. Yum Yum:)

Tree
by: Anonymous

I just used a decorating pastry bag and a metal tip and added frosting that was tinted with a concentrated color that you buy at a craft store. I just kept making little branches all the way around till it looked like a tree.It took me awhile to get the hang of using the pastry bag, and learning to put the bag in a cup before you fill it so you can pour frosting in and not get it everywhere.

I am very curious how you made the Christmas tree in front. Is it a plastic one or also completely eatable?
