Gingerbread Houses
A few people who know me also know that my mother is very busy during the holiday season busily baking, decorating, and selling GingerBread Houses. First off, these are not those simple gingerbread kit houses that you can buy at WAL-MART and build yourself. NO!!!! These are works of art that are made by hand, decorated with different candy from all over the world, and have a certain whimsical nature about them. NO TWO HOUSES ARE THE SAME!!!! When you look at the pictures I have uploaded, you will see for yourself the way that her houses are built. My mother has been making these for over 25 years( and she hasnt killed me yet when I eat them!!!lol) During the holidays, I put on about 10-30 lbs from being the tester of both the gingerbread and candy. The recipe she uses has been handed down from her mother's mother and has been refined over the years. She uses real molasses, sugar, and other ingredients( which I cant tell you since she would kill me if I did!) The icing isnt the stuff you can get at the grocery store or other places. She has to special order it also. Starting tomorrow, she starts getting ready for a Ladies Junior League show at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center which runs for a week. This is a new show for her since in the past, she did the Christmas Village Show at the BJCC instead. Her houses have been on soap operas and other television media. For those of you who live in a 90 mile radius of Birmingham, ask your wives if they have heard or seen her if they haven been to these shows.
If you are looking for a great gift for the family or to sweeten up the Missus so she will let you buy more Airplanes and parts, give these a try!! These also work well for friends, doctors, and so on for people who make a real impact in your life like ours do. She has a website whose address is www.thegingerbreadlady.net that you can check out besides here. THE PRICES FOR SHIPPING COSTS ARE WRONG ON THE WEBSITE!!!!!! With shipping costs rising this year, those prices are no longer valid.After reading this, I am sure you are going TELL ME THE PRICE!!!!! lol So here it is: LARGE HOUSE -95$ MED HOUSE -75$ BEACH HOUSE 85$ SMALL HOUSE 37.50$ CHALET 50$ HANNAKAH HOUSE range from 50$,75,95$ SHIPPING IS AS FOLLOWS: ON TO LOWER 48 STATES(NO INTERNATIONAL) Since these are handmade, they vary by weight from 11-15lbs ready to ship. She only uses FED EX for her shipping since they have been the most reliable and not damaging the houses when shipped. There is a 8$charge for the box and packing materials used. Each house ships in an oversize box approximately 23x19x23 inch box She doesnt take paypal, only Amex, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. If you only have paypal, shoot me a pm and I can get the funds transferred from Paypal to her since I have a Paypal Mastercard. I wont charge the fees for Paypal if you go that route. Any questions, please call 205-995-9280 and ask for the Gingerbread Lady! Seriously! or shoot me a pm and I will get the answers for you. If you mention you saw this on my blog, you will get a 10% discount off your order paid for by me!! Thank you for your time and reading this. Dave ImagesView all Images in thread
