Let me start off by saying that my Halloween gingerbread house, which I think was kind of ugly, was a piece of cake compared to this monstrosity. This house took more than 22 hours over three days to complete, and sucked away any Christmas spirit I had. Enter to experience the saga and see the finished product.

It's a Halloween Post, Y'all!
I know I promised that I would update a few days ago, but I ran a little behind schedule with this behemoth:
I have never made a gingerbread house before that wasn't graham crackers attached to a little milk carton, but I felt the overwhelming need to make one for my favorite holiday. It was a learning experience. For example, while putting the candy corn on the roof I learned who actually eats candy corn: my dad. The only major issue I had was making too much purple royal icing for trim and too little gray royal icing for covering the board. Assembling the house itself was incredibly easy, so for Christmas I will try something bigger and more complicated.
