Gingerbread houses
Finally posted, here are examples of the beautiful gingerbread houses that were made by our Cake Crafters. Many hours were spent creating their master pieces. We are delighted with the results. The houses were displayed at the main entrance to the school.

Gingerbread houses.
Gingerbread houses
The department is thoroughly enjoying watching our pupils make their Gingerbread houses. The skill level is fantastic, all are producing original designs demonstrating real flair and skill. Well done to all! We look forward to posting the photos and displaying the houses at the entrance to the school. This is the house that we made but it will certainly be overshadowed by our pupils!

See if you can find the examples of crimping, texturing, embossing and stencilling.
