This year, New Yorkers will once again get to experience “home, sweet home” during the holidays. Madison Square Park is bringing back its family-favorite Gingerbread Boulevard, a two-week event featuring a walk-through of life-size gingerbread houses. Attendees can walk inside the houses constructed from ginger bricks and decorated with frosting, peppermint sticks and gum drops, while they sip on hot chocolate to escape the cold. It seems that no one can turn down a giant-sized gingerbread neighborhood — organizers expect the event to draw at least 350,000 visitors throughout the holiday season. The gingerbread artists at Leckerlee couldn’t help but wonder: When, and where, did the creation of gingerbread houses begin? Nuremberg: Building the Foundation Gingerbread, as we know it today, originated from Medieval European cooking. Nuremberg, Germany (the birthplace of lebkuchen) was recognized as the “Gingerbread Capital of the world” by the 1600s as Medieval bakers turned gingerbread into a craft by shaping the treat into elaborate designs. It became such an elegant art that European royalty prohibited anyone from making gingerbread except specially trained guild members — except during Christmas and Easter, sparking the holiday tradition. While gingerbread continued to be a favorite decorated treat throughout Europe, it wasn’t until the 1800s that gingerbread houses were introduced out of the famous fairytale, Hansel and Gretel (see our updated version of our Hansel & Gretel Tin!). The tradition of candy-coated Lebkuchenhaus, the German term for a gingerbread house, eventually made its way to America with the Pennsylvania German immigrants. Going Life-Size As the gingerbread tradition grew in popularity over the years, many renditions have emerged over the years. The National Gingerbread House Competition in Asheville, NC, showcases some of the most original gingerbread designs from across the nation every year. The “houses” must be 100% edible and 75% gingerbread, but that doesn’t stop artists from whipping up designs like: A nativity scene with three Wise Men The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” album cover rendition Seuss’s “Whoville,” complete with the Grinch Artists also like to go big: in 2013, a group in Bryan, Texas, set the record for the world’s largest gingerbread house. The 21-foot-high masterpiece spanned the size of a tennis court and required 1,080 ounces of ground ginger to complete — not to mention 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds of flour, and 2,925 pounds of brown sugar.

Ok so here it is part two of the gingerbread house post, a quick how-to on being a builder. For the Royal Icing 1 kg icing sugar 5 tablespoons meringue powder 1/2 cup water (approximately) To make the Royal Icing- Beat the icing sugar, meringue powder and water with an electric mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix for about 7 minutes on low speed until the icing is smooth. If the icing is a bit too thick add a little more water one teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin add a bit more icing sugar one tablespoon at a time, beat again until smooth. I spent weeks looking for different kinds of candy to decorate my gingerbread house, but ended up not using any of it. Instead of covering my house with candy like I intended I kept things simple and pretty in pink, using only royal icing, pink candy canes and some sprinkles. To pipe on the details onto the walls of the house I used a fine tipped squeezy bottle filled with royal icing. For the larger details on the roof I used a squeezy bottle but trimmed the end to give a larger opening.I added a bit of extra sparkle to the snow details on the roof, chimney and above the windows, sprinkling on white sugar while the royal icing was still wet. To build the gingerbread house- Firstly find something big enough to build it on, I used my big white cake stand and it only just fit. Starting with one of the wall pieces, pipe a line of royal icing along one edge and along the bottom of the gingerbread. Position the wall on the base. Use something square like a cake tin to hold it up while you prepare the next piece. Pipe a line of icing along the bottom of the back wall piece of the house and adhere to the pre-iced edge of the side wall. Allow to set. Attach the second side wall with a line of icing along the bottom and on the connecting edge and leave set. Once set pipe royal icing along the front edges of both of the walls and a line along the base where the front of the house will sit. Press on the front of the house and allow the royal icing to set hard before attaching the roof. Pipe royal icing along the top edge of one of the walls and the edges of the roof. Press on one half of the roof and hold until stable, it wont take too long. Repeat with the icing and the other side of the roof. Allow all of the royal icing to set. Pipe a decorative line along each edge to hide the joins in the gingerbread. Lastly glue the chimney to the roof with a little more royal icing. There were trees and people to go with the house, but it turned out a whole lot bigger than I imagined and they wouldn't fit and got eating in the process. All eaten! Um nom nom.
