Thank you 🤗

very clean lines.  Great job!!

A very festive and neat job dear  @Gingerland ❤️

Hi, I have added your gingerbread house into the challenge because I know that that was what it was intended for. The only difference is that it will not qualify for the Spotlight because it does not meet the requirement of three separate cookies. That said, there are some beautiful details that I see. I would love to learn more about the process in creating this masterpiece.

What a beautiful Christmas house @Gingerland!! Your work is so precise with great attention to detail. I love it . So pretty for Christmastime ❤️ Hugs...

"Gingerbread house with fondant only-decorations"

I used a ready made white fondant and colored with gel food color.

Fondant shaping techniques used:

1. Embossed fondant:

I used a textured mat to make the roof of the house and a brick textured plastic to make the sides of the house.

2. Molded fondant:

I used a silicone mold for the door and for the front / back / top side of the roof.

The door was a bit of a challenge as I used two colors in one mold and only the third time I managed to  take it out from the mold without having see through the red color where it was not belonged.

3. Cutout fondant:

I made a snowflake pattern at the back of the house and this snowflake I attached on the door to the front.

The pieces of the house is attached with stiff royal icing and the rest of the decoration is made fondant only. This time I did not use royal icing or edible glue to attach the fondant to the cookie surfaces, I just brushed them with a little water and it worked perfectly.

Thank you Christine @Sweet Prodigy I just made a little description

Very neatly done.

Most of the time gingerbread houses are decorated mainly with royal icing. Using fondant as the sole medium gives your gingerbread house an elegant and distinct look. I love how polished the overall look is. The design, the techniques you used, and the colors all work so harmoniously together. This could easily double as a keepsake centerpiece. Excellent work!

Beautiful ❤️

So perfect!
