Why make gingerbread men when you can make gingerbread CADETS?

... Well Kayla and I did that exact thing. We are such big cadet nerds that everything we do it cadetish. We made gingerbread cadets and a drill hall (it didn't stay together well :( ) But over all it was fun. We had many blonde moments trying to make them like this..

Kayla "We can't make black gloves or black belts now because we don't have black."

Me "I guess we have to make white belts and white gloves"

*we both think for a bit, then look at eachother*

both "AHHHHH!!!" and then gave eachother a high five

Why that is, is because on fancy or special occasions we wear white gloves and white belts to make us look good. So our wonderful thinking made everything go over well. IT was great fun, we made a huge mess, made a double batch but only used half of it. Next time I make gingerbread cadets I'll remember to:

• Make a single batch, if you need more, then make more
• Hold the gingerbread cadet hall together until the icing drys
• When you make a mess at first, clean it up so that it doesn't get bigger
• Don't have your boyfriend there.. he puts icing on your face

The shapes are made

Our drill shed is made with cadets in front of it, (The red icing is because we ran out of white, so we had to use the red icing)

mmmm coookies!

we are the only the coolest people ever!

We're finished

What are your gingerbread men going to turn into?
