Here are just a few of the food gifts I made for Christmas this year.  In this picture are Marshmallows on a Stick that were dipped in chocolate  then rolled in toffee bits.  Cranberry Bars, one of our family favorites. Poppy Seed Bread Slices and Snack Jar Mixes For Gifts.  (If you are interested in the recipes for some of these foods just click on the topic Recipes in the side bar and it will take you to my recipe pages.)

Gingerbread House

I created the log cabin gingerbread house pictured above a few years ago and thought some of my readers might like to see it.  Everything on the house is edible.  The following is a list of what each of the items is made from:

Wood Chopping Log...........Handformed Gingerbread

Ax..........I cut a pretzel for the handle and made the ax blade from Handformed Tootsie Roll

Rock on Border and Chimney..............Purchased Chocolate Rock Candy

Wood Logs......Handformed Tootsie Rolls

Snowshoes.....Piped Royal Icing and Thined Royal Icing Snowboots......Handformed Tootsie Rolls

Chopping Block "Sawdust".......Fresh ground Nutmeg Using a Food Rasp

Decorative Greens and Red Bows......Piped Royal Icing

Animals......Bear, Jumping Deer and Moose All Made from Gingerbread

I made the pattern myself so if you are interested in having a copy of it let me know and I would be glad to either post it here or email it to you.  I haven't quite figured out yet how to save it as a full size pattern on here.....but will hopefully get a chance to work on that soon.  I can also include my gingerbread recipe and tips for working with gingerbread, let me know if you have any questions.............HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
