Have you ever built a gingerbread house?
Well, architect Taylor hasn’t! Her job has signed her up for a gingerbread house making contest – they figure it’ll be good PR for their company. But, Taylor is an architect for REAL buildings, not gingerbread houses. She needs help and when her job pairs her up with a well-known French pastry chef, she figures she’ll win the contest.
The pastry-chef decides not to work with Taylor, so, she ends up using the skills of Adam, a wonderful baker. I thought that Taylor and Adam got off on the wrong foot, but, as they got to know one another, the chemistry between them was as hot as grease sizzling in a skillet!
Adam has a lot going on in his life. He’s single and he’s raising his daughter, Brook, alone. Brook and Taylor really hit it off, which was nice.
I enjoyed seeing Adam and Taylor design and built a giant gingerbread house. Just because someone is an architect, it doesn’t mean that they can build a solid gingerbread house! Adam has to experiment with different ingredients to make sturdy bricks for their house.
I loved the special effects that were added to Adam’s and Taylor’s gingerbread house. But, I wondered, when you have a house sitting out like that, a gingerbread house, what happens to it? Do folks actually EAT a huge house like that when it’s been sitting out there for all to see? What do you think?
Kudos to Hallmark for again featuring people of color in their movie. I loved seeing Tia Mowry. I remember seeing her a long time ago, with her sister Tamara, on Sister Sister (an old sitcom).
So, have you ever built a gingerbread house from scratch? How long did it take? Was it a huge house?
