I've always wanted to make a gingerbread house and this year I finally decided to go for it. I did so much research and planning to try and maximise my chances of not failing, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I modelled it after my parents' house because I wanted it to be sentimental. The caramel in the windows didn't set properly so it has started oozing everywhere, but it looks really cozy with the lights shining through them.

All in all it took about five days to plan, bake, ice, and assemble it all. I'm already thinking of ways to improve next year!
