This entry is a little old, but I've only just got round to finishing writing it.
Every Christmas Tom's family gathers together one day to bake. We all come & spend the day baking Christmas goodies which are then dealt out at the end of the day & we spend the next month eating!! I always make a few goodies from Australia. This year I made, white Christmas, fruit mince slice & 3 kinds of truffles (I know they're not really typical aussie).
The other main event of the day is the building of world known building out of gingerbread by the boys. This year it was the White house. After a bit of confusion in the beginning as to what the White House actually looked like (they got it muddled up with the Lincon Memorial) they set about drawing diagrams of it & making templates for all the various bits of it. Then they rolled out the dough & cut out the various bits, which were then baked
.
Afterwards came the tricky bit of constructing the house by setting all the pieces in place & joining together with icing. 
Finally it was finished & the end result as I think you will agree was quite
good.
