heart feel better welcome we haven't turned into a cooking show but it is the holiday season so we're going to try something a little different we're going to make gingerbread houses and this is a complex and daunting task so we're going to jump in really fast and start creating because to build a home and thirty minutes is really something we have some fantastic guest creators isabeau mike collin and kate they are all enthusiastic and ready to create we these are sort of prefab houses which is a little bit of a drawback here because it would be more fun to just make them up or if we could have big but we did not have an oven here at the media center so we have though they are handmade and we're hoping that you can kind of jump in and figure out what you're going to do while this is a little bit different as normally we start off talking people and finding out something about it but what i thought was we would be creating and then we can do some interviewing and talking about your creative past and what's here i know three participants are experienced gingerbread builders there's one person you have not built with when you're going to have a good time idea is we have some frosting which is almost like glue we have and that is going to be your foundation and you have to figure out your what is the words of footprint because your footprint you're going to create some frosting on here that's going to start holding these things up also it's a dual process it's sort of a thing that we're two people should best work together because you may have to get some help in supporting the walls you can kind of look through your piece there and see what you have this forest there's there's a front and a back and then there's some side walls but there are no rules and you can make up whatever you would like to do with us we also have got some bags here with ice and can't when you made gingerbread houses how long ago when you know few years ago my house we did a little differently and they were with graham crackers so this is a new experience i think we may have to this day is over wish we had some the heritage of you know the all romance and i know it's romance grimm fairy tales they're not real romantic they're actually pretty scary the anything you have to have people read grimm's fairy tales or hansel and and and people our children are fascinated by being able to eat a house i'm so glad we didn't wait for phone or even out of your comfort zone you can do it here for a week i will deliver the sorry i was hoarding it so i'm trying to make a little fireplace here i don't know if that's working so for me i'm going to try to attempt stairs maybe not if you could attempts to your question well maybe i was thinking a lot or i like an old  said you know you got it we may have to start using a knife and raising it all up to ok tell us something about your house where all the nice family lives and gingerbread yeah i rolled right over again just to see that it fell and now if it's you know i don't believe that's ok i say that one well i hope all the people watching the show will attempt making gingerbread houses and see how really easy it is and fun and there are all sorts of recipes on the internet now
