Yurtilicious!

Time for some Gingerbread ART! Ok so….apologies for being tardy, this gingerbread Yurt was made for an event Held January 15th-ish.  Some of my dear dance friends hosted a dance party/gathering, called ”Northern Oasis”.  They host this party a few times a year, a chance for dancers and musicians to get together, share some good times, good food, and Chai tea! don’t forget the Chai tea!!!

I formed the roof of the yurt by baking it on top of a sauce pan lid that was yelling at me ” I’m a yurt roof form…really I am”. it just needed a tin foil lining for easy removal.

A coffee can served as a wonderful form for the yurt walls.  I actually used one of my silpats to bake the walls on the can, but here they are resting and cooling without the silpat. (there is waxed paper under those cookie walls)

Decorated the roof.

This is Ginger and Meg (Nutmeg) standing in front of the yurt.

Tribal belly dancers standing in front of their Yurt. from Left to right:
Cinnamon, Ginger, “Clo” (Cloves/Chloe), Meg (Nutmeg)…and Marge…for ( margarine/butter…even though she’s not spicy….).  Notice they are guarding the cookies in the yurt…snowflakes, (their food source for the winter ahead).

Of course gingerbread bellydancers travel around on reindeer….(have to find a camel cookie cutter)
