I'm late, I'm late! One full day, almost two... Shame on me... And what's worse, one month after I have skipped making the Daring Bakers' Challenge!
But please, these last two months have been crazy for me... at least, I could complete, a little bit late, my Christmas Daring Bakers' Challenge! And Merry Late Christmas, everyone!
The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book as the challenge recipes.
It sure is a challenge, especially for a Brazilian who has never build something such as a house made of gingerbread!

I decided to go for the first recipe, from Good Housekeeping, but went just for half, and still, I used half of all my dough. So, if you decide to make something like one third of that recipe, you should be quite good, for assembling a single gingerbread!
It is important to make all the paper stuff before, so, when you cut and bake, you'll be sure you have all the pieces you'll need. I was about to forget my roof! But I still had time and dough to fix it! Hahahah
Ah, yes, and it's a really tough task to assembly all the house using only some sugar syrup, Royal Icing and more gingerbread! I just felt like using the cing as Play Doh, to put everything up and firm!
But well, I did love assembling it, and am really proud of my sweet ugly little Gingerbread House!

Thanks, Anna and Y! And let the next Daring Bakers' Challenge come!
