"Gingerbread" "House" Event - 12/19/2017

[Kevin Fusselman]

Hey gang, it's time again for OMG's annual Gingerbread House event.  Note that this event has no actual gingerbread (we use graham crackers) and few, if any, "houses" in the traditional sense.  In the past, we've seen locomotives, hobbit holes and skyscrapers.

This years's event coincides with the regular meeting on December 19th. As usual, doors open around 5:30pm and people are usually around until 9 or 10pm.  The start time is nominally 6pm, but realistically people will arrive and work on their construction whenever on that evening. 

Frosting "mortar" and whatever decorations leftover from last year will be provided, but please consider bringing a box of crackers and some things to decorate with.

This is traditionally an "open house" sort of event, with folks bringing friends and family. The holidays are for group gatherings, after all.

Hope to see everyone there!

I'll be bringing:

• Graham Crackers (of course!)
• mini m&m's 
• 4 tubes of decorative frosting
• Whatever looks festive in the candy aisle 
• cookies (to eat)

See you Tuesday...

We have some royal icing mix, but no mixer... in the past, we've had someone bring a stand mixer to expedite things...  Anyone got a mixer loan us this year?

Everett and I've got this covered! Do we need anything else to make icing? Just water and powder?

[Kevin Fusselman]

Just a quick thanks to everyone who participated in tonight's event, as well as Sarah and Jeff for helping make it go off without a hitch. 

I think a good time was had by all.

Until I get a full post for the website, enjoy this photo.

I’m sorry I missed it - stuck in Houston for a work meeting all week. Looks like a great turnout and another fun event for our books. 

Thanks to everyone who helped put this evening together, as well as to everyone who participated. Thanks especially to those who brought guests, at least one of which is our newest member!

Thanks. I typically drop into CreatorSpace when I have time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time for anything extracurricular this trip.
