Village Green 2014

A Big Thank-You to the Light-up Committee.

Village Green 2014 ~ Cayuga-on-the-Grand

The Gingerbread Castle
~ from The Tasha Tudor Christmas Book TAKE JOY!

"We always make a special cookie for each member of the family and for the children of friends and neighbors.  Besides the shaped cookies, we also make an elaborate gingerbread castle.  The size and shape of the house or castle is decided upon and sketched. Then it is cut out of cardboard and the cut pieces of cardboard are used as templates or guides in shaping the gingerbread dough on the baking sheet, before cooking.  Holes are pierced along the sides of the gingerbread slabs.  When they are baked, the slabs fit together quite nicely, rather like a prefabricated house.  They are laced together firmly with ordinary white string."
