Haunted Gingerbread Houses

It was Cake Boss all over again this weekend at our place! However, cakes were replaced by gingerbread and Rice Krispy Treats.  We needed an at-home date since we both worked late on Friday and Saturday nights. We decided to get in the Halloween spirit by decorating a haunted house.

We started with a kit that I found at Michael's.  We decided to step it up a bit by adding Rice Krispy Treat pumpkins and witch's dirt (made from Halloween Oreos).  Here's the finished result...

Patrick's creativity amazed me!  Here was responsible for some of the house's finest details, such as...

 The fondant skeleton...

 

the spider web, and the coloring of the pumpkin stems!

 

We were so proud of our decorating project that we just had to document it with a little photo shoot.

 

 Ta-da!!!

 

 Time to eat?!

 

 We thought a kissy photo would be cute, but I couldn't stop laughing which is why I have awkward fish lips! Ha!
