Mary Berry inspired me to make this in time for Christmas. Check out her recipe on TGBBO Christmas special.
First I had to make templates & dig out my festive cutters.
Next I made up the recipe, it’s very thick, heavy & hot so be careful.
It dries out fast so you have to work quickly to cut out all the shapes.
Mid bake I removed the front to add crushed sweets to make stained glass windows.
When all the pieces were cooled I made the royal icing so I could start drcorating & building.
I carefully added chocolate buttons to look like tiles on the roof pieces.
Building it was tricky, but it’s beautiful when complete.
Remember to add a tealight before you put the roof on to light it up in the dark.
It will be the centre piece on my buffet table over the festive period.
