Join local cookie artist Doshia Freeman from Sweettrade Bakery for a wonderful day creating this completely edible multi-media Edgar Allen Poe Gingerbread House. Unlike the House of Usher, this house won’t fall (unless little hands and mouths start nibbling on it!) You’ll learn a huge variety of decorating techniques and go home with all the recipes, instructions and your completed house- you can use it as an edible centerpiece for a halloween party or keep it for years to come!
You’ll learn to…
Use Isomalt to create your Edible Windows and Portrait ‘Glass’
Create various textures on your modelling chocolate using our macabre rolling pins, texture matts & decorating tools
Use Royal icing for stencilling, piping, glueing your house together and decorating your board
Use Silicone Molds to create your Raven, Door, Skulls, Books, Picture Frames, Roses & Tombstones
Paint, Dust & Airbrush using Edible Luster Dusts, Petal Dusts and Edible Airbrush Paints
Create a Haunting Tree for your front garden using Rice Paper
Channel your inner Pallas to Carve delicious modelling chocolate Branches, Pumpkins & other Creepy Embellishments
And so much more…Nevermore will you wonder how to create fantastic gingerbread houses!
You’ll receive the ready baked components for your gingerbread house, but the decorating is entirely up to you! You’ll also receive a reusable remote controlled color changing light so you can adjust the atmosphere according to your mood!
