Annual Ginger Bread Project...

Layout of the Ginger Bread Farm House and Barn.  Card stock cut to size for ginger bread outlines.


Making a ginger-bread roof, grain silo and reindeer.


All the pieces of the farm are complete and cooling waiting for assembly.


Basic structure of the Farm is put together with Royal Icing.  Jolly ranchers are melted down to make windows.


Roofing added to structures.  Red ropes on the barn, and rolos on the roof.  Mike and Ikes on the Farm house, candy-cane porch, hershey kisses on the roof.  Andes Mints on the side of the Silo, redhots on the roof and hershey kisses hidden inside.


Stefanie making peppermint bark.


Pouring the peppermint bark into tile moulds.


Placing the peppermint bark tiles on the roof of the farm house and barn.


Base of the board is covered in royal icing.  Frosted mini-wheats, crushed, and sprinkled in the field to look like furrows of chopped corn.  Stef made a mould of a Truck for the Farm out of peppermint bark.  Reindeer have piped Red royal icing around their necks with gold sugar balls.  9 deer, one with red nose.


Final project.
