Building the Best Gingerbread House

On December 8th and 9th, the Sauvé Scholars, embarked on a mission to build the best gingerbread house we could. Josh found blue prints of Maison Jeanne Sauvé and crafted a scaled replica of the house in sketch-up. We then printed scaled plans of the house and cut our gingerbread to match. The result: a beautiful, bright red gingerbread house with a chocolate bear to represent each Sauvé Scholar! 

Step 1: Cut gingerbread pieces according to correct dimensions

Step 2:  Hold up the walls of the house... it's time to assemble!
