Following my earlier post... I wished real hard and she turned up and sprinkled her magic dust all over me. Giving me enough energy to make a gingerbread castle (inspired by the wonderful Tanna) and some biscuits, and the thing I'd been planning on making all December - a spiced igloo cake (I forgot the fruit).
I want to thank the wonderful Kelly-Jane of Cooking the Books for getting hold of and sending me the Christmas edition of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. I saw an advert for it and was drawn in by the gingerbread towns on the front cover. I couldn't get hold of it but Kelly-Jane did. She is one of the nicest bloggers you'll ever 'meet'. Thanks Kelly-Jane, you're a sweetheart!
Merry Christmas one and all...

I love the polar bears, lovely ginger bread castle too. :-)
That igloo cake is sooo adorable. Both are really fantastic.
Amanda, your igloo won me over. The polar bears are adorable and love that sign. Your gingerbread castle is also fantastic! I have never made a house, castle or igloo before, it must have been fantastic to see how great they turned out.
You are very welcome sweetie, I'll remember you next year :) You did really will with the houses.
