Happy Halloween!

That's right. Happy Halloween again. We just love it so much that we can't get enough of it. Looking for a good excuse to make a mess and eat tons of candy till our stomachs hurt, we decided to make haunted gingerbread houses with Westin and Rachel.


Westin did the most design work; he had the most professional blueprint going into it. Their house had lots of neat features like a hanging gummy bear man.


Cecilie gives me a hard time about taking to long to start these creative projects so I just started throwing frosting all over the place and putting it together. The best features of our house was the gummy bear zombies crawling out of the graveyard and the flames coming out of the chimney.



The final products looked great. Ours stayed in our house till the day after Halloween when it found it's way to the garbage (minus most of the M&Ms - the candy coating really keeps those fresh and tasty over time).




Although our houses were scary, in the end, we were all proud of our handiwork.

  1. Those look excellent! And definitely very spooky. I think we could call yours a haunted factory. :) Zombie gummy bears coming out of the graveyard?? You guys are pretty creative!

  2. I bet it was really scary for the occupants of those houses when a set of teeth came crashing through the roof. :)
