The Addams Family Gingerbread House

 

 

Hi folks,
I pretty sure I have mentioned it once or twice, maybe even more than that – I love gingerbread houses and centerpieces.
Few years ago I started a tradition of making a Halloween House. This year I picked, I suppose an unusual inspiration from a popular TV series The Addams Family. Creepy yet adorable family adventures.
I started off with baking all the house parts, I used gingerbread cookie recipe for houses and centerpieces. I sketched out my designs, made royal icing and started to decorate.
I optioned for simple color theme and it worked. I especially adore the blue roof  and black and red roses.  What do you think, what is your favorite part of this house?

I also included a new feature …peeping faces in the windows. Kind of creepy, don’t you think?

To make this house you need :
