Between cleaning and making gingerbreads I’ve made house (or church) from icing. I was ‘building’ pieces of it for a few days and today they became the church :). The title is criss-cross cause making of the roof wasn’t that easy ;). It wasn’t simple to stick the pieces together cause they are very fragile. But… in the end I’ve made it. I’ve found the idea for that church on some site with christmas things.

Sorry, this entry is only available in Polish.

I brought beehive forms from Prague. Today I used them for the first time. I’ve made dough basing on buttery biscuits and my filling was homemade, very thick egg-nog.

BEEHIVES

200 g cracked buttery biscuits

100 g soft butter

1/4 cup dark cocoa

1/4 grounded nuts

3 spoons of honey

egg-nog for filling

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make dough until it’s hmogeneous. You can mix it with blender (I’ve made it like that). Fill foms with dough leaving 3 mm of free space. Make a hole in dough with sticky part of wooden spoon. Fill the hole with filling (in my case it was egg-nog). Form a circle of the dough and stick the bottom of beehive.
Take the beehive out of the form very gently and leave in cold place. The dough can have any taste you like, it depends only on you favourite taste. You can also use other filling.
