UP Inspired Gingerbread House for Big Brothers, Big Sisters Auction

Hope you enjoy my Gingerbread version of Carl's house from the Disney/Pixar movie UP.  It was donated to support Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Douglas County in Lawrence, KS.  There is a link at the bottom where more photos and construction details can be found.


Here is our gingerbread UP house from the Disney/Pixar movie up.


I added a small modeling chocolate Carl before the auction.


 I used real balloons, everything else is edible.


A lot of people liked the hose for some reason... It was made from raw gingerbread colored green.


Here are some of the gum-paste fence posts as they are drying.  I made a cookie cutter from a small cross cookie cutter to cut them out.


Each member of our family makes a house for the auction each year.  You can see some of the walls here waiting for the oven and some of the shingles (made from gum-paste) drying as I cut out more fence posts.  My daughter is working on her house in this photo also.








You can see more images of the project with details about the construction, please check out our page about it here:Gingerbread UP House   http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=332999.0
