Well I did it, entered a gingerbread house replica of the 1877 Thayer Schoolhouse of Northville Township. This was a fundraising event for The Friends of Northville Township Historic District Commission to help renovate one of the township's oldest structures, the Thayer Schoolhouse at the corner of Six Mile and Napier roads. They had various professional and amateur bakers construct a gingerbread schoolhouse to be auctioned off at the event on November 14th. The entries were then to be judged by local celebrities and ribbons were awarded to the top three.
This is my first house not out of a box kit and I've only done them with the kids. I was having 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on thoughts. Even so far as wanting to hop back in the car to turn around when I arrived at the drop off location. Let me tell you, wow! Some of those gingerbread houses pieces of art.
My dear brother helped me with my template. I just could not get the roof right, even with his template. I didn’t know how to account for the thickness after baking.
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
