Lya's Cooking Corner

Hello you!
Welcome to the first ever "Lya's Cooking Corner". Today we are making a gingerbread vikingship!

Merry Christmas! God Jul!
I'd like to introduce to you, last years gingerbread project. "The Amazing Vikingship" an extreme culinary experience, you've never seen or tasted anything like it.

Start off with a decent portion of gingerbread dough at early morning. So, first have a look at when I was creating this recipe.
Shit, attempt number one, I discover that I had to adjust the temperature since the dough is basically sugar and melts therefore in the oven and looses it's shape :/

Attempt number two was... burned.... *bang-head-in-gingerbread-dough* d'oh! Attempt number three, day seven :D (that's attempt number three in total, not the third attempt the seventh day, I only tried three times, and the last time was simply perfect).

And voilá! isn't that simply breathtaking? Notice the wonderful details, the dragonhead in front is an excact duplicate of the one from the Oseberg vikingship. The whole thing is edible, except the tray and the beautiful glad-pack waves. Merry Christmas you freak, merry christmas.

Now didn't you enjoy a bit of christmas in the middle of August?
Well then SHIT the HELL off.

And NOW! - Foss, baby, your turn.
