Gingerbread Elf School (Caffè Torino)

gingerbread school (for elves)

First gingerbread school I ever made. I thought it was a good idea to have a school in our "village".

All the school is made out of gingerbread, and the bell, teacher, and elf students are made of rolled fondant. I decorated the walls, roofs and windows with icings of different colors.
I placed a slide in the garden to give it a "playground look".

I think it came out really cute, and looks a lot nicer in the village at night, with the lights coming through the windows.
