Christmas Bread Pt. 6

We now have six loaves that have been baked, two that are baking, about four that are ready to bake, and a bowl of dough left to shape and bake.

The gingerbread that Kirsten and Jeannette were working was completed just a few minutes ago. Just after the finishing touches were put on the decorations and a few photos were taken Kirsten made the ill-advised (AKA unadvised)decision to move the gingerbread house. Of course, because it was still somewhat wet, it started to shift and disintegrate with each step she took towards the living room.

By the time she was convinced to return to the dining room (where it had been assembled) it had almost completely fallen apart.

Fortunately there was some spare icing. This icing was called into action and used to reconstruct the newly destroyed gingerbread house. So while we now have a close to functional gingerbread house, some of the original decorations and details have been a little obscured.

And in other bread news, we may re-purpose some of the bread dough for cinnamon rolls. I guess a final decision will be made shortly
