Tasty Houses

We made houses for cookie people and then ATE THOSE HOUSES.  Just joking - I plan to eat it for Christmas.  A fun little quirk of the cafe in our hospital is that they make extra dough for various sweet treats and then sell it to the staff at the hospital.  This time of year you can pick up gingerbread and ginger snap doughs (as well as sugar cookie dough and pie crust).  Taking the easy way out I and two friends at work got ourselves some raw cookie junk and made three little personalized edible houses.  Every time I start a project like this I feel like "Ok Martha, this can't be that hard" and I end up feeling like a kindergarten student by the end painting goopy icing on with my fingers.

My house with skittle walkway (if only....)



Salud's kitschy crooked-but-charming roofed house  with marshmallow walkway

B's special "juice"

The mess

The back of my house and an evergreen made of feet

"I can't believe it's not feces" now in gingerbread
