My sister in law loves to bake. She did something really cute. She made a ginger bread house--an igloo.
She took a picture and texted it to my phone, but it has vanished. She also thought she uploaded it to Facebook, but it has disappeared from there as well.
She took a mid sized oven proof bowl and covered it in ginger cookie dough. Also made a tunnel-like entrance. She cut ginger bread bears but frosted them so the ears did not show for her Eskimo inhabitants of the igloo. It was so stinking cute. She used royal icing, which is the kind that hardens and keeps its shape. She piped it into bands that went round and round the igloo, so it had texture.
I so wish I had the pictures.

@RasmaSandra We had a lot of fun saying my brother was a big polar bear preparing to eat it.

Has it disappeared from her device? Maybe she can try sending it again. It does sound cute.

She sent it again. We were eating lunch when she sent it before, not sure where it went.

@BarBaraPrz Better in person. I thought storm trooper until I saw it close up. Also will admit the Eskimos did somewhat resemble space walking astronauts.

@GardenGerty Revised opinion: scary. Looks like a storm trooper or giant bug face.

Her picture on FB may have been private? Maybe? And then I think she has an iphone, and I have an android--would that be a problem. She just resent it and I added it to this post.

@Dena91 I found her idea to be very creative. This was the first she ever made royal icing.

Me too, as it is strange for it to go missing from both places, unless she posted private on Facebook. Check now, she re texted to me.

I had her send me the picture again, so you can see it. It was a clever idea.

It was. My brother kept teasing that he was a polar bear and was going to eat it all up.

Gingerbread igloo, but it did intrigue me when I first saw it. Had some spacey thoughts myself.
