Thousands of readers around the world fell in love with Scout Regalia's awesome geodesic gingerbread dome last Christmas, and so did we - which is why we decided to put one together ourselves with an extra special African touch. We ordered our dome kit from the designers and had it shipped to family members in Virginia who were en route to South Africa, where this author is currently based. It took a while, but we finally managed to build our sustainable gingerbread home with a lot of help from Tafline's talented Aunt! Step into our gallery to see images of this super fun project coming together in a quaint kitchen just a stone's throw from Johannesburg.

MATERIALS:

- Scout Regalia Gingerbread Geodesic Dome kit - Gingerbread ingredients - Icing ingredients - Mixing bowl - Rolling pin - Icing applicator - Mixer - Baking sheet - Candies, sprinkles, herbs, toothpicks, and other decorations
