Thank you for watching my first gingerbread house! There are a couple of popular questions that I have been getting that I wanted to share with all of you! Will you make more? Yes! My kitchen is currently undergoing a reno, but once it is done I hope to make many more! Do you have the template? I didn't end up keeping this template but I hope to post templates for future houses. How long did it take? I worked mostly nights and weekends and it took about 3-4 weeks!

[@Bellaswift135]

hello! love your work!! I am planning to make a gingerbread hogmeade village from harry potter! but I think I need a little help from the software you use at the beginning of the video

[@lyndaevans1132]

Oh! So glad to have just found you! Do you have the directions and measurements to go along with this wonderful video? I will gladly pay for said directions--I HAVE to try my hand at this!!!! Please share!

I live in Macon, GA. Hi. I loved this video but I have a question. When you glued the pieces down, are you using white glue like school glue or are you using something like royal icing?

[@katherinep.8919]

WOW. The planning. The execution. The skill. The TIME. Hats off, this is incredible. 😍

[@janine5296]

How can you be so mean about food and the subject? I really couldn't bear to watch the entire video and had to skip some pretty big steps. Disgusting to see what and how you deal with it... loveless and just plain rubbish!! There's nothing epic about this, it's just disrespectful shit!

[@janine5296]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5PGZ4KunredoZY&ab_channel=AtelierAvon%E3%80%90sugarart%E3%80%91 This is beautiful because it was made very carefully, with a lot of respect and love. Not this wild mashing together like in this video!!

[@shortforkatana]

Wow! It's refreshing to see a gingerbread house video that actually shows how much planning went into it. Like, this didn't magically turn out fine - you worked hard for it!

[@shroppiebakes2053]

This is absolutely GORGEOUS! Well done! I think the 4 people who “disliked” this need some hugs.

[@JamisonJoy]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@danettehartsock6366]

AMEN!

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

No, how about a kick in the 🍑? Merry Christmas 🎄

[@SenoraCardgage]

I’m going to just assume they meant to hit the upvote button and hit the downvote instead by accident, I know I’ve done that a few times. (I *hope* I’ve never done so without noticing and correcting myself!)

[@wndrwmn44]

This was unbelievable! I was exhausted just watching. What a job!

[@squa-squathedragon4124]

This turned out amazingggg! One note I have though from other peoples homemade gingerbread houses. when you first are making the pieces you just score the outlines and then when they first come out of the oven and they are nice and soft, you cut them out entirely. This prevents the edges from burning.

[@JamisonJoy]

Thank you so much for letting me know. This is great information! I will definitely be doing this for my next one!!

[@colleenhalverson4108]

Thank you for this too! I have all but decided that milk cartons were the only way to go!

[@isabelcurbelo1]

Now this what I call a gingerbread house. Details details details great job!!

[@marialuciacampos1086]

I am mesmerazed with your dedication to add different textures of snow to this house. And the details in the christmas tree are so top!! I'm so glad I found this video!

[@Ana_Cecilia615]

I get so much satisfaction watching cookie/ house decorating. This is sculpture work!

[@LouieLouie505]

Nicely done- well-planned and designed with an aesthetic that honors the material. Pretty but retains a sense of gingerbread, not all polished where it looks like ceramic. Many years ago, I made gingerbread houses for weeks during the holidays to sell at small regional shops. I must have made over 200 in those five years. Two things for anyone wanting to do their own. First, I used dry caramel to assemble the major pieces (dry caramel is simply melted white sugar). Unlike royal icing, it sets almost immediately so that things do not need to be buttressed. It takes a little practice, but so worth it. Second, color the royal icing brown to match the gingerbread for areas that might show and are not part of a snow detail. Much less glaring.

[@JamisonJoy]

This is awesome advice, I will definitely do these tips for my next one! Thank you!

[@vinnpang]

Wow good idea on using brown icing when patching them up! Too bad caramel won’t work for us that stay in tropical country, I used melted sugar one year and my windows became a pool of water in my gingerbread house after two days 😂 Very nice video and amazing work! Love all the details! ❤

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@sandyatkinson2619]

The most amazing most beautiful gingerbread house I’ve seen. You are truly a magnificent artist. I love your video.❤️

[@deniseshergold59]

Wow,too beautiful to eat,a lot of patience was needed to make this,well done,

[@mckennaansley5052]

I just have to say I love how u showed every part of the process- even the messy bits! It's so encouraging to see an expert baker that still spills sugar and makes a mess sometimes! (btw it turned out amazing!!)

[@MargueretteLorah]

Amazing detail and my next one will be a Victorian. I learned some excellent tips and the rolling pin/silpat for the melting candy was genius. Cutting those little shingle things for the tower takes serious dedication lol Seriously, a big thank you for some techniques that will be essential

[@TheKeaneKat]

I watched this whole thing amazed by your dedication and skill, then came down to the comments and was FLABBERGASTED when I saw that your subscribers were not in the millions yet! This is incredible!

[@saurontheentrepreneur9721]

I don't know why KZbin brought me here, but this is amazing!

[@limabean29]

Meanwhile, at my house, no child or adult can get the 4 basic walls to stay standing up. This is so beautiful! Truly a masterpiece.

[@lisacyr8860]

Love this! I make architectural models in gingerbread with my husband every year, and our process is largely the same except we work from photos and figure out the height/width ratios from there. Will try sketch up! A few suggestions to make things easier that I learned by trial and error- use really stiff Royal icing for assembly and wipe the excess on the outside away with your finger or a damp cloth instead of scraping it when it's dry with a blade. Definitely bake first and cut windows while it's hot from the oven for crisp lines the first time. To square of edges on the other pieces I shave off with a very sharp bread knife or rasp to bevel sharp corners. Another great option for Windows is sheet gelatin as well, creates a crystal clear finish with beautiful "lead work"! Keep up the great work and enjoy 😀

[@JamisonJoy]

Thank you for the awesome tips, this is really helpful!!

[@heartandsoulinc]

Hi! I tried using the sheet gelatin sheets but was not successful. They kept curling up and would not stay down with the royal icing. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@Galactic_Centre]

This is stunning. Wonderful work. This will go into my list of Christmas video content to watch during December every year.

[@JamisonJoy]

Im so glad this is going to be part of your Christmas traditions!!

[@wardrobelion]

I love the music you chose. It was perfect!

[@ashley-aaaa]

You would most certainly win the Great British Bake-off! Super beautiful!

[@niquesniche1221]

As an architect major, I noticed the Sketchup RIGHT AWAY!

[@lisathomas1622]

Patience is certainly needed when producing such a fabulous work of art. Wow.

[@kendraw6255]

I came for this awesome gingerbread house but stayed (subscribed) for the details. This was not the usual four walls and I appreciate every minute of it! THANK YOU❤️❤️❤️

[@JamisonJoy]

Thank you so much!!

[@raysofrosie]

The amount of work put into this just for someone to take it apart and eat it… I could never. Just the thought of it breaks my heart ✋😭

[@MrAilsaAng]

THE “GLASS” WINDOWS!!!! ✨😱✨

[@roxanas4714]

I love the music 🎶 in the background, very soothing

[@bluishblow]

this amount of planning and execution inspires me to go on with my master's thesis

[@JamisonJoy]

Love this!! Good luck!

[@WidebodyHorn]

Ha! And I can't even make four walls and a roof stay together. Great work!

[@bethzaidacintron2378]

Sinceramente, la casa 🏡 le quedó espectacular, preciosa, cada detalle, se nota que fue un arduo trabajo, le felicito por su excelente labor. Muchas gracias por compartir su video. ¡Dios bendice su gran arte!

[@Ssmmmm80]

The amount of patients!

[@aml1009]

Absolutely love the entire process and dedication!!❤❤❤ envious.. i want to try

[@damogranheart5521]

Reminds me of some of the houses in Saint Paul and Stillwater Minnesota. Beautiful! I could live in a house like that. With Midnight snacking it wouldn't last too long!

[@dustinjolicoeur6138]

I would definitely haunt this house if I was dead. Looks great.

[@SewFrancine6120]

😊 I’ve just learned so many tricks of the trade…. Thank You 😊 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 👍👍👍💛☮️💟✝️💛👍👍👍

[@christinenewell2679]

A work of art💐.

[@bronwynnewell1767]

Amazing!! Absolutely love it!! What mm depth did you roll your structural pieces to? And was that chocolate fondant, or moulding chocolate you used for the support columns & balustrade?

[@cadoo5591]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing, it was amazing!!

[@fernmarie6799]

Wow, this was truly wonderful! Watching you make this house was marvellous and it’d be truly hard to not be feeling some holiday joy after seeing this! I’m inspired to go on my own long gingerbread architectural journey now haha. This was the first video of yours I’ve seen- so awesome! I’m glad I stumbled upon it, thanks so much for making and sharing.

[@theresecastle2284]

This is one of the most fantastic house in the world!!!!!!!!!!!? I want to live in it .

[@JoshGamingGarden]

How come this has less than 1000 views? 😱 This is so creative, and inspired me to go do some baking!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Also I'm very curious to know how long this took to make?

[@JamisonJoy]

You made my day!! From starting with the design and 3D modeling to finishing took about 3 weeks (nights and weekends)!!!

[@360patti]

Wow, you truly have alot of patience and talent I love this just Beautiful

[@wandacampbell337]

Absolutely just will love it

[@rjwoods2600]

I wanna live in this cute little house. Looks amazing, hard work paid off ☺️

[@JamisonJoy]

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun!

[@JamisonJoy]

You totally needed the break😋

[@christieintexas]

This is so pretty! So much talent and creativity put into one amazing gingerbread house. It is way too pretty to eat.

[@velocitygirl8551]

I can’t even begin to guess how long this took you!! Wow!!

[@danettehartsock6366]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Now when can I move in? Just kidding, but it is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! If I could afford it I would love to live in a life sized version built with bricks instead of Gingerbread!

[@JamisonJoy]

I love the way you think!!

[@heartandsoulinc]

This is unbelievably beautiful! Do you sell your template? If not, how does one go about learning how to design a gingerbread house? I so enjoyed this!

[@lisanixon9284]

Trick is to not cut the dough exact before baking. Cut ever slightly extra or a little overage to allow shrinkage during baking. You can always mildly file down to fit. Rather than not have enough.

[@kelseylloyd8801]

SUPER MAGICAL. You have such a talent. Thanks for sharing such a fabulous project:)

Wow you deserve 1 million subscribers for this this is amazing 🤩

[@teod.2779]

WOW! Speechless...

[@susancocking2348]

Oh your hard work is beautiful thank you for sharing 💕

[@gabimckenzie3401]

This is amazing, it both inspires me to do this and makes me want to never do this haha. Beautiful work. Throughout this video they were applying the royal icing messy and then in my head I'm like no way is that going to look clean and like snow and then seconds later BOOM, gorgeous snow textures. This taught me that clean lines in certain areas make a huge impact, and you can let things be a little more free form in others and it will still make an amazing effect. The pine tree specifically I was like no way and then the next shot it looked like a real freaking tree. Love it!!!

[@arlenetricky8543]

I am not even half way through the video and I’m thoroughly enjoying this! So awesome! I subbed and will follow on Instagram. My husband and I are preparing to build a gingerbread house together too now. I’m letting the gingerbread cool down from the oven and was watching videos while it cools down and came across your video 🥰

[@JamisonJoy]

I am so happy!! I would love to see your gingerbread house too! I subscribed to you as well, your wedding was just beautiful!!!

[@skyin7072]

[@victoria_e_torres-treadaway71]

The best by far...

[@jessicadenike5245]

This is definitely the type of task I always want to take on. Thank you for sharing this. I am definitely inspired. The amount of time this will take me though I will have to plan for next year lol I don't think 25days is enough time, and the amount of royal icing I would have to make! 😬 (I would definitely do a modern mansion:) that's just my style )

[@whocares6698]

This is just wonderful. How long did it actually take you to do this? Planning and then building?

[@carolinesanwald2213]

Did you bake the rolling pin!? 🤯 This is incredible!

[@trickthirtyone5163]

This is beyond incredible!!! Just WOW! I don’t have words! But I have to know, did you end up eating it? 😂 Is there even a way to preserve it? I know I’m 2 years late to this post but I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to make something similar for decor purposes.

[@mikekane3985]

wonderful

This video cured my depression :)
