Modern Gingerbread House — erinlamb

⁣Scott suggested we try to make a gluten free gingerbread house from scratch – and this is our final project! I told you we could make food fun 🙂  We learned a LOT from this process & it took a wicked long time… but you know what every minute was worth it for this cute little thing that I could actually EAT along the way! ⁣⁣

⁣⁣We made a lot of mistakes and tried so many different ways to build this house … BUT we finally got the hang of it! ⁣⁣

⁣⁣When you learn you have a food allergy/sensitivity your journey is going to look quite similar… you will make mistakes and you will try many different recipes & foods – some you will never wish you tried!  The important part is to stick with it! It’s a journey but you can find joy in it ⁣⁣

⁣⁣It’s so nice to have a husband that comes up with fun gluten free ideas & who is so patient and supportive! ⁣⁣

⁣

If you feel like you need that kind of support – I’m your girl! ⁣⁣(Check out the ALLERGY package to learn more.)

Dough recipe from Our Food Stories

Gingerbread house templates from Oh Happy Day

Gingerbread house glue – we didn’t have cream of Tartar so we used lemon juice and it worked great!

We tried this caramel syrup to glue the gingerbread house…. READ THE REVIEWS! The recipe that is posted didn’t seem to work too well for us. It was very tricky to get right and turned out to be this weird crumbly sugar. The recipe posted in the comments should work 🙂 We used this sugar mixture for the base then use the icing for the roof and the accessory pieces.
