With the holiday season comes all of the traditional holiday crafts. Although I love the idea of crafts and baking, after 10 minutes in with a mess and my Pinterest vision ruined, I tend to throw in the towel. However this year my mom found a snazzy cake mold with readymade gingerbread houses! The tool lets you create a little town with 6 little houses, and with just a few ingredients, you have the holiday flare your dining table needed without the huge mess.
We Used:
- Red Velvet cake mold (of course the traditional flavor is gingerbread, but we decided to change things up a bit and give the houses a red look. The mold works with any cake flavor, so feel free to pick your own look!)
- Green icing (make sure the icing is thick. The thicker the icing, the less it’ll bleed on the angled roofs and walls of the houses. Also, the thinner the applicator is, the better.)
- Powdered sugar (perhaps the best touch to the little down is their snow kissed roofs, made easy with a dash of powdered sugar.)
- 2 Candy Canes (we decided to smash 2 candy canes to embellish the plate. It gave the houses a great holiday vibe – highly recommend.)
Happy Holidays!!!
