As many of you know, I run a craft show with my good friend Karla called Kraftbomb. Many people head along to Kraftbomb to snag some of my cupcakes (be warned, get in early to avoid missing out!)
For the December event I decided to make Christmas themed cupcakes and went with the Choc Christmas Puds that had been proving popular. But I wanted to give something new a try so I made some Candy Cane Peppermint cupcakes. These are big in the USA and after seeing so many of my favourite cupcake bloggers whipping some up I decided I had to have a go! They were amazing and I made a few more batches for family and friends over the holidays. I'm sure Chris and I ate far too many!
Unfortunately because I was so frazzled with cupcake orders, sewing stock for the show and running Kraftbomb, I didn't take any proper photos so I've only got the ones taken on the day! I know, I suck.
The other thing I made for Kraftbomb was a gingerbread house. I make one every year for my family along with a few that get purchased by customers. The gingerbread house was a hit with all the kids passing through, although we did have to watch curious little fingers from poking it!
I decided that if nobody wanted to buy the gingerbread house that I'd keep it for a treat for Chris, Karla, Alex, Ben and I after a long day. We got the gingerbread house home and then sat around like naughty kids not wanting to bed the first to start to destroy it. I got the honours and as hard as it was to destroy something I'd worked so hard to make, it was incredibly fun!
Heres the photo evidence of the destruction!

Your gingerbread house is so much better than mine! I would love to know the recipe for the white icing, I couldn't be bothered looking for a proper one before making mine, and hence, everything kind of slid off the house! Well done, this house would have been hard to break!
I agree, that house looks fantastic! I cheated and just bought a kit and it looked like crap.
Kraftbomb looks like fun!
Ooooohhh YUM!!! Now I want gingerbread :P
