I've always wondered, what do you guys do with the house after your done. I'm guessing you don't eat it, which is a darn shame. Mmmmmm, gingerbread house. BTW I counted 20 black dots, but i'm guessing that's not the answer, it'd be too easy.
as far as the dots, there's alot more than 20. I wasn;t asking for the little discs on the wall, I was talking about the awning.
after the new year (about a week after), we just tore down and threw away the pices. it'd be up for a little over a month (from just after thanksgiving until just after new years). the gingerbread went stale, plus it wasn't eactly edible (real gingerbread is a bit soft and pliable, the stuff we made had alot more flour in it to dry it out a bit so we could make suitable shingles with it. it was also missing a couple of small ingredients to give it flavor (it had just enough molasses, cinnamon, netmeg, and ginger in it to give it color, not flavor).
