Gum paste figures? Surprise feature? Can't wait to see it! (Of course, it will make mine look dumpy but I'm new to this gb thing. Does that get me extra pity points? lol)

No pity points allowed (even for baked fingers) - But I am certain yours will be great ---- there is no dumpy GB house, they are all fun and interesting.

Incontinence, fortunately, is not a problem with emotes.

Should I go ahead and post my pictures? I don't want anything to fall off/break/crash before getting a chance to post them.

Of course!

I would love to see pictures.

Ok, here goes nothing!





Some of the things I used:
Mini Shredded Wheat = roof
Caramel Licorice = roof beams
Sno Caps candy = roof
Sour Green Apple candy = tree, bushes
Pretzels = gate, sign post, windows
Graham Crackers = nesting box
Peanut M&M = coop base
Gumdrops = coop base, sign & gate anchors
Coconut = mixed in icing for snow
Chick-O-Stick = for seed
Peanut Butter Kiss = path

I've never made one of these before but I'd do it again (DH is already asking me to make a BIG one for next year, lol). Learned a lot...like icicles are hard to make and no matter how careful you try to be when you touch some item, something is going to fall off. It took a lot of time, mostly because I've not worked with royal icing before.
