Haunted Ghost House
The theme is a Haunted Ghost House. I wanted to build a scary gingerbread house with a cool graveyard environment to compliment the haunted house. Each tombstone has different funny names like Robin Graves, Ben Ill, and Barry M Dead. This house was baked from scratch using a construction gingerbread recipe. The tree is ginger clay and hand sculpted. The roof/ghosts are fondant, shutters are gum paste and crushed candy for the walkway. Used royal icing and isomalt windows.
