Construction project 41 - The gingerbread house by Billie and Tamai

This is the roof Tamai decorated

This is my side of the roof

Darrin gave us a ginger bread house for christmas. It was in a big box and had icing, gummy bears, sprinkles, round stripey lollies and a few more tasty ingredients.

We took the gingerbread house to the farm, and early on boxing day, around 7 o'clock, we got up and made the gingerbread house. We had to massage the icing in the bag to make it soft and then we cut one tiny corner off, and then I piped it into the chanels for the sides of the house. I put the front and back in and Tamai put in the sides. I put one side of the roof on, and Tamai put on the other. And our house was made. Then Tamai put on the chimney. That was a difficult job but he worked it out. Then we decorated the house. Diana put on the snow on the roof and then Tamai decorated one side and I decorated the other. It looks fantastic.

Me and Tamai putting on the finishing touches

We stuck on the gummy bears, and some pineapple chunks, and drew with red icing. Tamai put some icicles on the chimney and then we decorated the snow man and a tree. Then we had to wait 15 minutes for the icing to set. That was a long time to wait. We took one side of the roof down the river for lunch and it was delicious. We wrapped it up in tinfoil. It tasted really yummy.
