Mom gave me this, but i'm not exactly sure what to do with it. Looks like I could make a gingerbread house with it???? Or is it just a decoration? It's stamped Country Home Collection.

What's it made of? Looks like a cookie mold to me. You fill the cavities with cookie dough and bake.

I think it's made out of clay. If you fill and bake I would assume temp and time would be different than baking on a cookie sheet???

It would be great for molding fondant...Maybe?

It looks like a gingerbread house mold to me too. I think you would make 2 batches, in order to have all the parts to build a house. I'd like to have one of those myself. I've always wanted to try a g/bread house, just never got around to it.

That is a Gingerbread House mold.

Does it say who the maker is? You may can find something about baking in it on Martha Stewart's website.....Or just google cookie molds and see what pops up. I think you could bake at the same temp most likely.

It's a mold, you can either bake in it or tap the cookie dough out and bake on a sheet.
I have one made out of cast iron and I never bake in it, it takes alot less time since most only have one house side and stuff.

it's a gingerbread house mold.

you'd have to bake twice to get all the pieces needed.

showing are one end wall, one side wall (heart), one roof section (scallops) and one half of chimney (two pieces) and four little people.

just press your gingerbread into the mold sections and bake. turn out to cool. bake other half. then have at it w/ very thick royal for glue.

would work better with gumpaste than fondant if for no other reason than the drying time required to get pieces stiff enough.

I also have one just like that, except its made out of cast iron. As said before, just bake your gingerbread in it. it is SO nice to use. very helpful.

Pieces are precut and even have impressions as guidelines.

Im sure you could use it as a decoration too though!
