Gingerbread Houses

At the Silo Cooking School

No, we are not in the Black Forest but there will be gingerbread houses! Area residents are invited to enter the enchanting world of gingerbread creation with Nijolle Potts, chef, baker and naturopathic doctor as she leads the Silo Cooking School’s gingerbread house decorating workshop.

As of this writing, there are still places left for a hands-on class on Friday, November 29th, 9-11AM. There is a limit of 16 persons for the class. The Saturday and Sunday classes are already sold out.

For the second year Potts continues the tradition initiated by Ruth Henderson in 1972. The atmosphere is festive with the air redolent of the aroma of freshly baked gingerbread as participants craft their own edible masterpieces.

Participants will employ an abundant array of colorful candies, fluffy marshmallows and freshly baked gingerbread houses to craft a sweet masterpiece.

The Silo Cooking School is located at 44 Upland Road in New Milford. Click on the link below to register.
