  • It looks brilliant, well done.

    I made my first gingerbread house last year and you've inspired me to do a button roof this year - and I love the star shaped trees. It is hard to see it get destroyed but at least people enjoy it - if I lived in the UK, I would make one for my nephew and friends kids as presents too. Which gingerbread recipe did you use? The one I used last year was really hard so was looking for a slightly softer one.
