Growing up, my mom would always make gingerbread houses from scratch and my brother and I would go crazy decorating them. It was my main goal in life to try and fit as much candy on my house without it collapsing.
I'm proud to say my kids are carrying on the tradition.

Anyone care to guess the carb count of this bad boy?
About one miiiiiiiiillion grams?
Love your Gingerbread house! I can tell it was made with lots of love. What a great tradition you are carrying on! Merry Christmas! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI might have taken a stab at calculating the carbs... (I'm bored tonight, can you guess?) I'm not bad at SWAGing, but this would be a simple one... You can count up the Smarties, & the gum drops, scale out the size of each wall & roof panel, & even guesstimate for the icing's volume... Then a quick consultation with Google would provide the carb numbers for each item & presto, that's all you need to know to calculate the total... (I'm assuming you wanted the total, not a "per serving" or carb factor?)
