This post is about a kitchen table transformation from bowls filled with frosting and a variety of candies to a full-fledged gingerbread house!
When little elves get to work, all kinds of magic happens.
Fingers fly and imaginations soar as a colorful transformation takes place.
Spicy gingerbread smells fill the air. Uh oh! Some of the construction materials get eaten! This is serious business. The construction foreman had better tell the workers to refrain from eating the goods!
The table holds an eye-popping variety of candies---- hot "tamales," cherry rounds, gumdrops, peppermint striped balls, ribbon candy, and fruity rectangles, to name a few. No wonder there's so much temptation for the builders.
One can almost hear a command of "Gingerbread house construction underway" coming from the kitchen.
Two sets of hands begin furiously selecting candies to line the roof and walls of the house. Sugar "engineers" fly into action. Once the house's roof and sides fill with colorful candies, it's time to begin the yard that has to be designed and filled in with rainbow colored gumdrops.

There! The last of the gumdrops make the yard look like a garden filled with sugary
"flowers" that smell quite spicy.
The kitchen table metamorphosis is complete and Gingerbread House 2010 is now ready for Christmas!
