Last week one evening I had the best fun ever. We decided that we want to make gingerbread houses to lift up our christmas mood. As in the Netherlands they don't know the concept of christmas correctly, they really don't sell gingerbread dough anywhere, let alone ready-made gingerbread houses. So we had to improvise.
At Albert Hijn(local supermarket) we looked around and considered what could be a good base for the house. Stroopwaffles were too heavy and cookies too thick. Then we found these waffles cookies - a perfect building material for the houses. For decorations it started out as "we only need a few things" but suddenly let to a insane gathering of all sorts of cute and colorful and cool candy. In the end, we spent 30 euros altogether for the waffles and decorations. In addition to that, we had three different color of decoration marzipan, #noshame.
I think we spent like around 3 hours making our beautiful houses, and even though we received some very suspicious looks and words from some of our hall mates we did finish them. And we did good. The outcome od our houses is amazeballs in my opinion. We made them from scratch without gingerbread and any molds to shape them.
The on made by me is more of a modest and simple design. My plot features a simple house with two toned roof, a red bow to give it a festive feeling, a frozen pool and forest with a wild pig. The house is owned by a retired albino christmas elf.
Amyrats house is more creative and dimensional. It includes a sick slide to a pond, a huge snowman and so many pigs. Pigs rule the house.
