Beautiful! What is used to make the tree itself?

Gingerbread! The tree branches are two layers of gingerbread sandwiched together with Royal icing to make it stronger. Then the branches are covered with royal icing using a "grass" tip to make it look like pine needles.

Any tips for someone who wants to just make a pretty (and simple) gingerbread house? Your houses from last year were so neat and I love this years creations. I know I could NEVER make anything nearly as cool as yours but any tips you had on how to make a basic pretty house would be great!

Check out www.gingerbread-house-heaven.com

This is a wonderful "how to" website that gives you pattern templates, recipes, tips and pointers....basically everything you could want for making a gingerbread house.

Have fun...and be forewarned....it is addicting!!
