Fabulous gingerbread house

Description

Gingerbread house – traditional decoration of the table in Western Europe. The original dessert is becoming popular in Russia. A house made of sweets, found in manuscripts of the 14th century, Dreamland Kokanee. Also among the ancient Romans it was the custom to bake pastry houses, which were placed in the home altar. Within 1-2 days the house was eaten, symbolizing the unity of the gods. On the eve of new year holidays, I want to give the cakes a real miss on our website - She (miss )!!!
