How sweet is your house?

In different versions of Hansel and Gretel, the house in the forest is made from different types of sweet food. In Anthony Browne’s version, the roof is made from fruit cake, the walls bread and the window panes are made from sugar.

What food would you build the house from? 

What sweets, biscuits or cakes would you use for each part of the house? 

How would you make your gingerbread house?

    1. That's a good idea, to use something bright like skittles as a path, Melissa. What about your windows and doors?
