Decorating Gingerbread Houses with Annie

Annie, Ainsley and Kaley went to the Blue Ash library to decorate Gingerbread Houses. Here is the link to the cake pan, which the cakemaker uses. http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E3191DF-475A-BAC0-53BA3BD42B6F8C98&killnav=1

The cakemaker owns a tea house in Blue Ash and makes 150 of these little stand up houses, using Betty Crocker's Gingerbread cake mix, for different organizations during the holiday. These houses are sooooo cute- they beat the kits. I think we've found a new twist on "old" tradition of decorating Gingerbread houses for Thanksgiving. A and K shared (it was one house per family). The girls were given a small cup of white frosting, which they smeared on the roof. As for candy, they were given some fruit loops, mini marshmallows, peppermint, sucker, gingerbread cookie, and a roll of smarties. Everyone had a great time and each house turned out differently. Annie sawed her cookie in half and attached it to the window (like a head looking out) and A and K put their cookie on the roof representing Santa. The girls had another classmate there, too, Sara Smith.
