When we asked for your
own gingerbread-house creations, I was surprised by the number of entries. There were 30 of them, and each one is fantastic! If you missed it, we posted the
first fifteen entries this morning, but now it's time for the next fifteen!
This month we challenged you to
create your own gingerbread house. I thought that a few of you might take me up on it, but I didn't think 30 of you would! Our neighborhood ranges from Hello Kitty to toy trains, and they were so beautiful and creative, you put
our houses to shame.
CasaSugar recently asked which
Sugar HQ gingerbread house you preferred. It's been a back and forth struggle between PartySugar's
Snowy Log Cabin and BuzzSugar's
Dr. Gingerbread House.
The other day, CasaSugar asked you
which Sugar HQ gingerbread house you preferred. Many of you said PartySugar's
Lagito Cabin Gingerbread House, but my Mid-Century Modern charmed some of you folks as well. Earlier you got the step-by-step for hers, so today I thought I'd give you the step-by-step for mine.
If you've been inspired by all of our
gingerbread action, then why don't you get cooking and create something too?! There's still time to enter our gingerbread house challenge. Read below to find out how.
CasaSugar and I recently got into a debate over
who could make the best gingerbread house. I hadn't actually made one from scratch ever, and was about 10 years old when I last put one together. However neither of these things stopped me from talking up how great my house would be.
After twelve hours, five emergency trips to the grocery store, three batches of
royal frosting, and two house threatening crises, my log gingerbread snow cabin with frozen lake was completed and ready to enter the
challenge. Let's hope it wins the
the SugarHQ best gingerbread house contest!
It was a tough, time consuming project, but the final result — an amazingly cute gingerbread house — was well worth the effort.
I'm so glad I came across this
gingerbread house how to. I'm making my house for
our gingerbread house challenge this weekend and the step-by-step instructions are super helpful. Check it out and enter our challenge!
Deck the Haus: KMD Architects Has a Sweet Tooth
KMD Architects, a San Francisco-based architecture firm, has traded their mediums of glass and steel for sugar. That's right, KMD recently constructed a dynamic gingerbread version of San Francisco's famed Chinatown Gate.
KMD Architects, a San Francisco-based architecture firm with an award-winning international practice in architecture planning and urban design, has abandoned its seasoned mediums of glass and steel for child's play and sugar (something I'm a big fan of). That's right, KMD recently constructed Chinese New Year, a dynamic gingerbread version of San Francisco's famed Chinatown Gate, for Seattle's Gingerbread Village, a gingerbread collective meant to raise awareness about juvenile diabetes.
The Stranger, a Seattle newspaper, calls the details of this sugary Chinatown Gate impressive: "The scales of the dragon are made from chocolate coins; the spines on its back are a line of Hershey's Kisses; the roof of the Chinatown gate is tiled with dark-green jelly beans."
