Many moons ago, I used to make really delicious gingerbread houses. I think I stopped mostly because they were a bit tricky to assemble. In order to have a nice soft gingerbread that you actually wanted to eat, you needed to have a cardboard form for your house, plus super-sticky frosting. I really need to find that recipe, though, because after our experience putting together a pre-fab gingerbread train this Christmas, my vow is never again with a pre-fab.

The gingerbread was rock hard!
Well, of course it was. It needed to be in order to stand up all on its own and not frustrate a small child who was building with it. But come on...this stuff was completely inedible. Nonetheless, Katherine enjoyed herself and was able to do much of it alone, or with just a bit of help.

I once sent a gingerbread house kit to my sister's kids. It never occurred to me that they wouldn't be able to eat it later!
