Gingerbread Royal Icing house

This years gingerbread house is inspired by techniques found in Eddie Spence´s book.
I love the lightbulbs over the door - they are not from the book though...

The inside of the house is a mess, royal icing all over the "floor" so i had to shield off the windows.
Luckily My little bakery shared her beautiful gingerbread house, giving med an idea how to.

Tip; After baking, the walls dried up with a big curve, but after 8-10 seconds in the microwave I could carefully press them down so they became totally flat. After cooling on the counter with a little weight on top, they held the shape nicely.

I had this "canvas" on the backside of the house, but no idea how to decorate it,
so i played around a little. The lantern is a pattern from the book.




The reindeer and its pup :) -And the scallop piped rope/running bead,
which I´m very proud of, because it was really hard to make!
It doesn´t show very much, but its on the cookie-base along the house.


Merry, merry Christmas all :)
