Sweet Tooth Journals

Hello my people!!! Welcome to Boxing Day!!! ^_^ A belated Merry Christmas to you all and my apologies for the late wish, but then again you know how the life of a hotelier is. :/ So without much ado, I present to you our Christmas dessert spread from yesterday. Cheers!! Christmas Plum Cake Black Forest Gateaux Slices Fruit Mince Pie Blueberry Cobbler Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Pie Eggnog Cheesecake Yule Log The Cookie Tree

Yes it has been quite a while. I have been very busy and tired. I am sorry. But Christmas is the time for forgiveness. So forgive, forget and read this new post. ^_^ This post is about this year's Gingerbread House that my colleagues and I made at the retreat. It was very hard work and the house stretched our patience to the strangest limits, but all said and done, I feel like a proud mother. :) This year I have a new recipe for construction gingerbread. This one is even more durable and sturdy, but DO NOT make the mistake of eating it. It tastes just like sawdust. In my next post I will give you recipes for edible gingerbread. The delicious, rich, gingery, spicy kind. Wait for that. Also have a royal icing recipe which sticks like cement.
