Gingerbread Fairy House with De Koekenbakkers | Thurs Sept 21st, 10:00am

Gingerbread Fairy House Class

Instructor: Mariëlle de Vroome – 3D Cookie Cutter Shop (www.3dcookiecuttershop.com)

Level:

All levels of cookiers are welcome for this class but a basic knowledge about decorating with royal icing (piping/flooding/consistencies) is recommended. To be able to finish this project in one day, some parts will already be (partly) prepared and the pace of this class will be quite high.

Class Description:

Learn all about creating fairytale gingerbread houses with Marielle; a gingerbread artist from The Netherlands who specializes in designing, decorating and teaching 3D Cookies and Gingerbread Houses.

In this 8 hour class we will be decorating this 100% edible Gingerbread Fairy House from start to finish. The measurements of the assembled house are 7 inches in height and 6 inches in width. All parts of the house are made out of gingerbread. The tree stump is completely decorated with royal icing and the roof is covered with fondant leaves. The roof is separate from the stump so that you can lift it and place a light in the house for an extra magical effect.

You will learn:

• Tips & Tricks for baking sturdy and long-lasting Gingerbread Houses + special recipe for construction gingerbread.
