How to Throw a Gingerbread House Building Party
PHOTO: RENEE NICOLE DESIGN + PHOTOGRAPHY CONCEPT/STYLING: ANDRESSA HARA, TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE PARTY
What’s not to love about a gingerbread house building party? Festive and fun, it’s a party filled with candy and other sweet treats, plus guests get the chance to create their own unique, take-home holiday keepsake. A gingerbread party appeals to kids and adults, so you can invite parents to accompany their children or plan one as a way to celebrate the holidays with neighbors and your children’s friends. This theme party is a great way to gather family and friends for the holidays, do a short activity for the kids, and even make it a contest for the creative and competitive guests in the crowd – complete with photos and bragging rights until next year. Best of all, busy parents and budget party planners can pull off the
soiree with minimal time and expense, says Andressa Hara, owner of Twinkle Twinkle Little Party, an event planning and design company based in Boise, Idaho. It’s easy to throw together an impressive party with Christmas decorations you already have. “If you would like to throw a small party at home, get a little table, add milk and cookies and cupcakes and you’d be covered,” Hara says. Hara has hosted her own parties for the last few years, along with organizing them for clients. She says they’re a fun idea for kids. “It actually engages them and keeps them busy, and parents can talk,” Hara says. “I wanted a holiday party that would give the kids something to do rather than run around or just eat sweets.” (A gingerbread house building party dessert table that Hara designed was featured in the December 2013 issue Tattle Magazine.) Like any great party, it’s good to start with a theme, then build decorations and activities around it. Hara likes to base her décor on printable templates for things like take-home coloring books, cupcake toppers and wrapper, bottle labels and treat bag labels. “I usually start with my printables and come up with a color palette, an invitation,” she says. “I design a label. They can dress up their drinks, buy regular bottles and wrap them with the Christmas or gingerbread printable.” Along with traditional red-and-green decorations, a Candy Land or Santa’s workshop theme fits with this type of party, says Samantha Antes, owner of Confetti Events, a Washington, D.C.-based party planning company that counts children’s parties among its specialities. “Lots of your decorations can be homemade and made to look like you are in an enchanted forest of candy,” Antes says. Antes suggests place big bowls or vases full of different candy around the room. “It looks amazing and it’s double purpose,” she says.
“The kids can eat it or use it for their houses and for decorations.” For the actual building process, Antes recommends setting up four to eight stations for partygoers to move around and build their houses in stages. All the “helpers” can dress as Santa’s elves and create a workshop atmosphere. “Put your house together at one, make your roof and add decorations at another,” Antes says. “Play a game; give the kids a break. You can’t just have the focus be on one thing. It can go way too fast or it will take way too long and they will lose interest.” The hostess should plan time for snacks, a reading of “The Gingerbread Man” or other Christmas stories and a few age-appropriate games – or drinks for the adults. This type of party is best suited for ages 6 to 12 and up if they plan to build and decorate on their own. “For older kids, make it into a fun contest and they will really put their effort into it,” Antes says. “With younger kids, it’s just for fun, and older kids like to make it really detailed.” Unless you are a party pro or have a lot of free time, Hara says it’s easier to skip baking the gingerbread pieces from scratch and buy kits from a local store. What makes the party fun is to keep the rules loose and let attendees use some ingenuity and imagination to craft a colorful, candy-coated house they can display during the holiday season. It’s a good way to get people in the spirit and get them excited, Antes says. “A gingerbread house can be as holiday and Christmas-y as you make it,” she says. “No matter how much you celebrate Christmas, it’s a great way to get anyone in the holiday spirit, and they probably won’t go to more than one a year.” CTW FEATURES

’Tis the Season for
CIDER
CELEBRATIONS
PAGE 5
By Ben Larrison CTW Features Every holiday has its iconic meals: Thanksgiving has turkey, Christmas has ham, and Hanukkah has latkes. But just what are we to drink during these celebrations? Well, this year, a nice hard cider just may be the perfect fit. Long a favorite in Europe, cider’s popularity in the U.S. has soared in recent years, aided by a booming artisanal cider movement. Like wine, cider comes in a wide variety of styles and flavor profiles, and since it’s a “harvest beverage” cider seems all the more appropriate around the holidays. “Now that we have all these choices with cider, and so many that are quite elegant ... it just seems like a perfect fit for me for the holidays,” says Sherrye Wyatt, executive director of the Northwest Cider Association. “I think that they go hand-inhand.” Though hard apple drinks are now seen as a major up-andcomer in the alcoholic beverage industry, their history in the U.S. actually is fairly significant: For many of the country’s early settlers, cider was the preferred alternative to an oft-contaminated water supply. Though its popularity waned following Prohibition, the drink has enjoyed resurgence in the past decade, steadily popping up in homes and bars across the country. Today’s American cider scene resembles the early days of the craft beer movement, with a plethora of small, specialized cider makers offering entries in an industry that is otherwise dominated by a few household brands. “There’s ranges in quality of cider, just as there are in every other industry,” says Tim Larsen, co-owner of Snowdrift Cider Co. in Wenatchee, Washington. “So if [people] prefer artisanal wines or craft beers, then they’re going to enjoy a more artisanal

cider. If they enjoy a domestic product, like PBR, or if they enjoy a Mike’s Hard Lemonade, then there are going to be a lot of massproduced things out there for their palate.” When it comes to your holiday feast, there is almost certainly a satisfying cider to compliment your meal. Tieton Cider Works, in Tieton, Washington, even puts together a “menu” of cider pairings around the holiday season. (For recipes, visit tietonciderworks.com/tieton/pairings) Sharon Campbell, co-owner and creative director for Tieton Cider Works, says that for a big turkey dinner, people should actually consider basing their pairings around the side dishes, since turkey is versatile enough to pair well with most ciders. A dry cider, she says, can go well with butternut squash or savory bread pudding, while sweeter ciders work nicely with potatoes. As for Campbell’s personal Thanksgiving favorite? “We do a (sweeter) cherry cider, and I take that every Thanksgiving,” Campbell says. “And I have to say, it was like the perfect Thanksgiving cider. It went with the sweet potatoes, and it went with the dressing, it went with the savory bread pudding. It went with everything!” So if you are new to the world of cider, the holidays may be the perfect time to give it a try. After all: ’Tis the season. “Apple season is late summer into the fall, so it makes sense that people think of cider as something that evokes a feeling of the holidays and the nostalgia that goes along with them,” says Greg Hall, former Goose Island brewmaster and founder of Virtue Cider. “Cider goes great with food and the holidays bring great feasts, so we're happy to be a part of people's tradition.” CTW Features

Wednesday, November 12 - Thursday, November 13, 2014
By Jessica Royer Ocken CTW Features Not only are the holidays a time to gather and catch up with family, they’re an opportunity to share the very best food and drink available. Mom’s not getting out the fancy dishes for nothing, so this season, as you travel to be with your loved ones, why not bring something exceptionally delicious – and something that says you – to grace the holiday table? “There’s no better gift than something unique,” says John-Mark Hack, executive director of the Local Food Association, a national trade organization based in Versailles, Kentucky. “When you buy something that’s produced in a certain area, crafted by people who live there, its uniqueness has a special value.” In some cases, selecting just the right item may
be pretty easy – simply think about what you love to eat or drink in the place you call home. Think cheese curds or brats from Wisconsin. Maple syrup from the Northeast. Wine from California or Oregon. Preserves and candy made from amazing Michigan cherries. Or a fantastically frozen gourmet pizza, done Chicago-style or New York-style or in the style of wherever you currently hail from. “In Vermont we have the advantage of being a place people associate with Christmas anyway,” says Helen Fuqua, manager of Apple Mountain, a speciality store in Burlington, Vermont. “It looks like a Christmas card around here!” Fuqua says starting shortly before Thanksgiving and continuing through the holiday season, jams and jellies, locally made condiments, and of course everything maple – from syrup to hot sauce to popcorn and

even maple cotton candy – flies off the shelves and home for the holidays with local residents and college students. No matter where you live, your local community is likely home to farmers, bakers, confectioners and distillers who draw from the ingredients that grow best in your area, as well as the area’s cultural heritage, to create unique and flavorful specialty goods. For example, according to the Brewers Association, an industry group, the majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a local brewery. Translation: It should not be too hard to find a tasty brew – especially one unavailable in your hometown – to bring to your family gathering. Fuqua says at least one of Apple Mountain’s employees stocks up on Heady Topper, an India Pale Ale brewed in nearby Waterbury, before going home to see his family. “You can’t find it anywhere, so it adds to the personal connection,” she says. “And there’s accountability and quality because when you produce and sell something locally, you’re often making it for your neighbors.” So who doesn’t want to be the person who brought home the coolest, most delicious holiday treat of all? “It’s a great way to create long-time memories,” says the LFA’s Hack. However, if you’re flying, the TSA may object to a carryon full of beers or other delicious liquids, so consider shipping them ahead. If you still need inspiration, seek out a local producer of jams, jellies and preserves, suggests Hack. These are in abundance around holiday time and are bursting with flavors born in your region. (Southwest green chili jelly, anyone? Pickled okra?) Local cheese

producers also are present in most communities, so wow your family with a swanky cheese plate featuring cow, goat, and even sheep’s milk cheeses from your neck of the woods. And, of course, the other benefit to buying locally produced delicacies for the holidays is the support it offers the community you call home, notes Hack. You’ll likely purchase artisanal treats directly – or almost directly – from the person who created them, and your transaction puts money back into the local economy. So even if you’re not spending the holidays where you live, you can spread a little cheer with your shopping before you go. Bon appetit! CTW Features
