This year, our display is “Homemade Hansel and Gretel.” Check out pictures of the assembly and final product below!
Let’s start with some huge starlight mints, candy corn, and vicious gingerbread men…
Can’t do paper mache without some scotch!
Necco Wafers – the candy that is only good for “roof tiles” for our windows.
How about some candy cane window trim?
A finished gumdrop! Don’t lick it – it tastes like Epsom salt and lacquer.
The finished product! Come see us this weekend at Boo! On Briggs Street!
