Gingerbread House by Ben

My son had a wish to create his own gingerbread house from scratch and he fulfilled that wish just in time to share it with our family and friends.  Using a basic gingerbread recipe he made the dough and kept it in the fridge overnight.  The next day he rolled it out, cut out the shapes using templates that he made and baked it until it was a light golden brown.  A little engineering was necessary due to the size of the gingerbread house and the weight of the roof, but thankfully it all worked out in the end.  Once the house was set with royal icing, it was time to decorate.  HOW GOOD DOES IT LOOK!  Well done to my 14 year old son Ben - it looked and tasted excellent.
