The Condemned Gingerbread House
It's that time of year! I don't consider myself to be a beginner baker. I've been baking in some form or another since I was a child, beginning with boxed cake mixes and working my way up to my grandma's butter cookies from scratch. Yet, this weekend made me feel like I knew absolutely nothing about baking and had never baked a single thing in my life, because the supposed "beginner" recipes I was using either left out vital information or didn't explain how to do certain techniques well enough, and by the time I realized it, I was in over my head and there was no going back. While this happened with two recipes this weekend, I want to focus on the horror that became my gingerbread house (yes, there will be pictures.) I've never made gingerbread cookies before, but I have made many other cookies, so I didn't making these would be too difficult or much different than ones I've made before. Unable to do several of our usual Christmas traditions
