Valentine Gingerbread House


Just a quick Valentine's post today. This was made in a hurry at about 12 midnight so apologies for the poor construction and pictures! I had a box of Dr Oetker Christmas Gingerbread House Kit which I never got round to using for Christmas so I've decided to make a Valentine version instead. The gingerbread is provided so there's no baking involved.  All I had to to was assemble it together... sounds simple? Clearly not! I managed to break the doorway and make a huge mess everywhere! Anyway I hope the intended recipient will like it :)
I kept it very simple but you can be as creative as you like. I've seen some amazing ones on the internet. 

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!

PS to my twitter friends who will know what I'm talking about, I desperately need to join #GA!!
