My first gingerbread house! I learned tons and am totally looking forward to making my next house. I think this one turned out spooktacular!

You'll find marshmallow ghosts, candy pumpkins and candy corn, sugar tombstones, sprinkle leaves, sugar bats, candy bones and black licorice for the decorations and trims. The side walk is made with poppy seeds. I made my sand from brown sugar and my black dirt is made from chocolate cookie. The porch pillars are made from pretzel sticks. The house, tree, and signs are made out of gingerbread. I used gum glue to fix a few boo boos and to make the seeds stick. Everything else is "glued" with royal icing. Everything on the board is edible with the exception of the hand bursting from the grave. I looked at hundreds of other houses and then just did what made me feel good.
