Whew, I did it! My family is much happier now that I am back in the land of the living again.
33 full-color pages of gingerbready building. Complete recipes, instructions and plans to build your own Witchy House in time for Halloween!
Each chapter is 12 pages long, so you will have to be patient for the PDF to download, it may take a few minutes for each Chapter to show up. Adobe will show you a blank grey screen while it is busy downloading, then all of a sudden, poof! it is there.
p.s. You will need all three chapters in order to build the house. If you make your own witch's gingerbread dwelling, send me a note to let me know, I would love to show off your house!
I am just beginning to realize I should have provided links to sources for some of the more specialized items needed to build the house.
I hope you enjoy these sites, I have always found it to be a lot of fun reading cake decorating supply catalogs - so many wonderful and eye-opening supplies!
for white cardboard: craft supply stores & possibly your local art supply store. If you can't find white cardboard and have your heart set on using it, go to your local bakery and ask if you can buy a sheet of it from them.
for pastry bags [l called it a piping bag in the instructions], couplers and tips: Wilton cake supplies online or locally at your craft supply store or party supply store. Your town may have a local cake decorating supply shop, so be sure to look in the yellow pages first. (The Wilton link will take you to a page of links to discussions about pastry bags, and a link to buying their disposable pastry bags).
for paste food coloring and gold or silver dragees: Sugarcraft, GlobalSugarArt, CountryKitchenSweetArt & KitchenKrafts
