I wanted to create some sort of a winter wonderland. So, I designed a log cabin and surrounded it with a hill made of rice crispy squares covered in white fondant and an ice skating rink in the yard. Jelly beans were used to create a path to the front door as well as insinuate the look of stones at the base of the building. I covered the board in white sugar crystals to reflect an light the way the snow would on a crisp, sunny day. Candied snowflakes gave the &#8216;snow&#8217; a thicker look. The log cabin effect was created by rolling out each piece of gingerbread to look like a piece of log. Glass was made by melting pieces of hard candy in the oven and then placing them on the inside of the frame.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-310.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-226\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-226\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-310-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Front view - Gingerbread 2010\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-310-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-310-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-309.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-225\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-225\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-309-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Side view Gingerbread 2010\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-309-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-309-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-308.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-224\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-224\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-308-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Rear view\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-308-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-308-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-307.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-223\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-223\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-307-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Ice rink\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-307-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-307-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-305.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-221\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-221 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-305-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Picture 305\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-305-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-305-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s gingerbread house was a challenge&#8230;mostly because I did not have the time.
