Christmas Baking | Gingerbread house

23.12.16

 Gingerbread men and houses are all over the internet the Christmas period. Houses covered with chocolate, candies, sprinkles and a lot of icing or minimal ones with rich royal icing details. Every single one has its own charm and beauty. Big houses that will be in the centre of your festive table or little ones on your christmas mug. 
I can imagine a table with some gingerbread houses, colourful bowls with christmas decorations...sprinkles, candy canes, chocolate stars and of cource a lot of royal icing in piping bags. Christmas music: on, everybody ready . . . Let's get decorating! 

Hello December ❊

1.12.16

"It's the most beautiful time of the year", I sing all day long while baking. The bakery is dressed in its festive decoration. Red and gold ribbons, wooden ornaments and a big Christmas tree. We stayed awake two nights to decorate this tree. The city lights were off, the snow was falling and we were inside the most beautiful bakery in town to decorate it. Tired but so excited. This was my dream job. Even if I was new there I loved this job. I don't know why they had chosen me. I am not the greatest baker. The first recipe I was told to do was the Gingerbread house. I was frightened. Soft biscuits but really delicious, runny icing and a lot of sprinkles. Putting together the house. "Oh yeah, I did it! No, the roof is down! Again from the top!". I was so nervous but was enjoying the process. Icing time. "I believe it's the best icing I've ever made. Oh why is it runny? I can make it work!". I had 15 more minutes. The only solution was the sprinkles. Hmmm...It was not the most beautiful house but I loved it! It was my first Gingerbread house and was made with lots of spices and love. This is my own Christmas house. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas, people!
