Keith and I decided to make a mansion gingerbread house this year. It is a bakery/chocolate shop, which we of course named Enticing Icing. We love taking on projects like this, even though it entails many hours of baking, assembling, decorating, and detail work.
This house has a cute little window display that shows off the bakery's goods--a wedding cake, a chocolate torte cake, donuts, a chocolate cake, and three gingerbread houses. It was pretty fun making such tiny confections.
The house also features a lot of scrollwork done in royal icing, including a fence that Keith designed.
I made the Christmas trees by stacking waffle cones and covering them with icing leaves.
This sign for the shop is molded out of chocolate.
There are even two working lights inside.
We put the gingerbread house up on our entertainment center in the hopes of it making it through the holidays intact. Who knows, maybe it will last through several Christmases.

Hillari, it really turned out amazing. You two are so talented!
WOW! That is soooo cool!!
WOW!! That is awesome!! So cute! You guys are so talented! I never thought of making a fence out of the icing. And the trees look amazing... and the little confections... WOW!! :)
That is so cool! I love the mini bakery treats. And the fence looks impossible. Having decorated gingerbread houses on a much smaller scale quite a few times, I can't even fathom how you guys did some of that stuff. I hope it does last several Christmases. But if not you can make new ones every year with different themes! I'd like to see a Disneyland themed gingerbread house...so get going!
WhodeeDiddyWhateee?!?!? Amazing grace is all I can say!
Wow! This is quite incredible. Can't wait to see it in person. Too bad we can't eat it - it looks delicious! :) And you should definitely do a new one every year so you have a village. But where the heck would you store it?
