After two years on Circular Road, our gingerbread project moves a little closer to the harbour, this year landing on the east end of Gower Street to feature these three traditionally colorful row houses.A slideshow of the construction of this year's houses can be seen at:

For the sixth year now, this gingerbread creation will be raffled off as a fundraiser to benefit Bishop Feild School in downtown St. John's. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5 and will be available from the school or on Sunday evenings at the Avalon Mall flea market.
If you are interested in photos of our other annual gingerbread house projects or would like detailed instructions on how to build your own gingerbread house, you can find them here:

UPDATE: You can usually just click on the photos to see larger versions but some people have messaged me to let me know that is not working for some reason. To see larger versions go to:

Sorry Paul, I don't have templates, I just eyeball the proportions and wing it. I have a word file with the gingerbread recipe and some tips and instructions though. Email me at lechefsecret@gmail.com if you'd like a copy. Perhaps it would be a good idea to post the whole thing though...I just didn't think there were many people as crazy as me to attempt something like that. This one took over 50 hours to complete from baking to finishing touches. Last year's took even longer.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Stunning!!
ReplyDeletebarry each year you outdo yourself.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply amazing!
This is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Barry!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job! I'm one of the crazies who'd love to try something more advanced this year. Not to your standards, but we'll have fun with it. How many have you done?
ReplyDeleteI've been making gingerbread houses of some sort at Christmas for almost 20 years. I sometimes smaller ones to give as gifts and have made as many as 20 in a single year. My college course load doesn't allow me that kind of time now though. It's a miracle I found the time to do this one.
ReplyDeleteanother stunning creation, Barry
