Baking an EPIC Gingerbread Village Ski Resort FROM SCRATCH | Fully Edible Gingerbread House/Village

Happy Holidays everyone! If you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas. We had this idea a bit last minute but once we started dreaming it up, we just had to execute it to the fullest. We did lots of research to figure out how to bake a strong gingerbread structure to create the Gingerbread Ski Resort of our dreams. Frosty Valley (what we’ve called our village) is complete with a glowing A-frame cabin made of gingerbread & butterscotch candy, a fully edible chair lift up to the slopes, and a candy ice rink. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever baked for sure. While time consuming and a huge challenge, maybe we will make it our new holiday tradition! At least I hope to be able to do some fun creative baking each year…Or it will just be an amazing Christmas memory we’ll remember forever. Either way, I hope you enjoy the making of our epic gingerbread village/ski resort. We ended up using two different Gingerbread recipes. Our strong structural construction gingerbread recipe: https://sugargeekshow.com/recipe/gingerbread-house-recipe/ (note: we used half butter & half shortener in an attempt to make it a bit more edible, plus half dark brown sugar & half white sugar in our first batch) The delicious, chewy but still strong Gingerbread Cookie Recipe thanks to my bestie Sarah. We did many batches but here it is: 3/4 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 3/4 cup molasses 3 cup flour (and extra for rolling) 1/4 tsp salt 2 tsp ginger 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp nutmeg Preheat to 375 F Beat butter & sugar Stir in egg & molasses Fold in flour/spices/salt into butter Chill 2 hours Cut dough into sections Roll on floured board Bake 10 min (or less if you have really small cookies like some of the ones we made) TIME STAMPS: 00:00-00:39 - Intro 00:39-2:08 - How we built our structure 2:08-3:05 - The Plan 3:05-4:09 - Making our Construction Gingerbread 4:09-5:54 - Laying down our Gingerbread ground 5:54-6:56 - Cutting out our A Frame & Making a Candy Window 6:56-7:30 - Icing & Baking 7:30-8:19 - Building our A-Frame Gingerbread House 8:19-8:58 - Icing & Cutting out Gingerbread Cookies 8:58-11:45 - Constructing our Gingerbread Chair Lift 11:45-13:38 - Changing up some plans 13:38-14:48 - Making our Frozen Candy Pond & Edible Trees 14:49-17:06 - Decorating our Gingerbread & Frosting our Village 17:06-18:48 - Finishing up our Edible Chair Lift 18:48-22:09 - The Grand Reveal & Tour our Gingerbread Village/Ski Resort!
