Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center Cooks: Gingerbread Houses Galore

During the November cooking class at the Senior Center, members had a great time decorating their own gingerbread houses with all manner of icing, candy canes, candy rocks, marshmallows, gumdrops and more.And, magically, the once plain brown house became a delightful confectionary masterpiece! 

After the pieces were completed they were put on exhibit in the center's display cases. They lend a delightful, special holiday touch. Also on display are hand-carved Santas, made by the Center's woodcarving instructor, Jerry Clapp.

The Santas are on sale and would make a beautiful, unique gift for those collecting special creations. And, no, the gingerbread houses are not for sale. Each proud owner will be taking them home at a later date for their families to enjoy!

Feel free to come see the houses and Santas at the senior center: 18560 1st Ave NE, in the southern-most building of the Shoreline Conference Center.
