Description
This light-up gingerbread house decoration takes the shape of a pink cupcake, piled high with icing and sweets. Its pink walls are striped in red like a cupcake case, with white-framed arched windows, a red door beneath a peppermint swirl and a lollipop on either side. Over the top sit white drip icing, a ring of pink piped swirls, gingerbread men with a snowflake biscuit, a light blue lattice tier and a red and white peppermint crowning it all. A fine glitter sparkle covers the piece, and the white iced base is dotted with sprinkles. It stands 20cm tall, 11.7cm wide and 10cm deep.
It lights up, and the open windows let the glow through, so it looks its best once the curtains are drawn on a winter evening. At 20cm tall it sits happily on a mantelpiece, windowsill, bookshelf or sideboard, and its small footprint lets it fit between baubles and greenery without crowding them. The sugared pastel colours suit a pink or sweet-themed Christmas, and it adds a playful note to a hallway table or kitchen shelf. It also makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves gingerbread.
The house is freestanding on its wide, rounded base, so it needs no hook or wall space and sits steadily on any flat surface. Every detail is raised in relief, from the piped icing to the tiny sprinkles, and the glitter catches the light whether the decoration is lit or not. To keep it looking fresh, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or brush, and wrap it in tissue between Christmases so the icing details stay crisp. Group it with a few pink baubles and some greenery for a sweet little scene on the mantelpiece.
