My baking day starts with a thorough clean of the kitchen. Then I start rolling out, cutting, and baking the gingerbread dough I made last night. Then royal icing and house assembly. I’ll post process updates in this thread so those who follow me for photography or Whitecaps fandom can mute it. 😂 🍜🍽️
