Five years ago my daughter wanted to create a new Family Tradition and we started working on Gingerbread Houses together. I design, bake and construct them and she assists with the decorating and mixing ingredients. Four of our gingerbread houses were inspired by movies, ELF; A Christmas Story; How the Grinch Stole Christmas and this year's was Home Alone. There was no candy used, only gingerbread, royal icing and fondant.
