The Crown Jewels of Christmas baking has to be an impressive gingerbread house. This simple just painfully technical project is what can define you as a baker, it can resemble everything we love about Christmas. The gumdrop sweets to remind us of our childhoods and excitement of Christmas, the drizzle of icing resembling winters magical snow and the taste of spiced filled seasonal snacks. However the classic gingerbread house can alternatively reflect the attempts and never ending difficulties with baking. Such as the structure collapsing, the gingerbread being to crumbly to roll or the icing to wet looking like slush rather than fluffy snow, which you end up with what looks like a natural disaster in the gingerbread community and a crushed ego.
So I decided to take one step at a time, and my gingerbread stars were step one to my hopes of making a master piece.
