I handmade templates to cut the walls and roofs - and then rolled fondant and cut circles with a small cutter for the roofing shingles. I love making realistic houses - but, knowing this one would be delivered to a children’s hospital after our family party in early December I decided to go with lots of candy and color instead. Kids and adults alike all smile when they see gingerbread :) Wish I could share photos of the back and sides too!
