:rotfl:Mrs Tine I won't tell you what my kitchen currently smells like then with the gingerbread house just out the oven waiting to be assembled and decorated! Suffice to say I'm very glad I did a few extra gingerbread trees!

MrsTinks

Gin... ger..... bread.... :drool:

Don't suppose you might uhmmm.... post up the recipe?

BTW tip for windows... melt foxes glazier boiled sweets gently and pour into the "holes" (can also be used to make icicles etc )

ooo how do you melt a glacier mint?? Micro??

MrsTinks

Well according to the Good Housekeeping magazine... you crush them and put them in a home made tin foil cup Then make a pinch one end to form a spout. Place mint thingies in the cup and put in the oven on top of a baking sheet lines with parchment and leave in for about 20 mins (oven should be 180 or 160 for fan) once the syrup is just starting to bubble round the edges it's ready

Now... that ginger bread recipe...

Here it is MrsTine with assembly instructions too! I have just tried a tree and tastes delicious! Didn't have any cinamon though so substituted with mixed spice and is fine.

It's currently assembled and setting ready for decoration in the morning! Just hope it makes it to scotland in 1 piece as really want my nephews to see it as it should be rather than loads of bits!

Nomnomnomnomnomnomnom :drool:

MrsTinks

I'll have to give that a go!

BTW you can also make coloured window panes using the cheap fruit boiled sweets from say Asda If you don't want mint or see through ones that is

Just remember to be real careful as obviously boiling sugar syrup is naaasty stuff to get on you! :eek:

What's wrong with the recipe above? Chocolate, cream and alcohol (or flavouring)? Only need a knife and a saucepan!
