Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another episode of Nerdy Nummies!
Today, we are gonna be doing something special for the holidays, we are gonna be
making a Tardis, out of gingerbread! Let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 2 gingerbread houses, these are the very
standard ones that come at the store, I only have 1 on the table,
but you will need 2, they’re like $5.
The very thick gingerbread frosting. This stuff is amazing, I love it!
It makes everything stick together. Decorative white frosting, decorative blue
cookie frosting, 1 large mustache-u-ler, 1 big knife, to cut our gingerbread,
and 1 blue LED light. Thank you Rich for sending me this, you are awesome,
Darth Beavis I’ll put a link below, he was nice enough to mail me an LED light.
And, powdered sugar, so it looks like snow. Let’s put it all together!
Also, for those of you who may be wondering about this really cute apron, I met a
really nice gal in Santa Monica who sells these aprons. You’ll find her website,
I’ll put a link below, it’s called Huckleberry Baby, they even have little pockets!
I can put my big mustache-ula in! Perfect!
The first thing we’re gonna do is cut shapes, inside these boxes comes with 2 of
these, 4 of these, and 2 of these.
So that’s why you need 2 boxes because we’re gonna want 4 of these big boys.
Now these big boys, we’re gonna put them in the microwave for 90 seconds, because
right now they’re really, really hard. They’re like…
They’re like rocks! But I put this in the microwave for about 90 seconds,
and now I’m gonna cut it.
I’m cutting a little bit off the end so that my gingerbread is more of a rectangle,
versus a square.
You’re gonna do these with all 4, for each side of the Tardis, and then with this
excess piece, save it! Because we’re gonna use it for the little police box signs.
Just cut it in half.
Time to frost!
You’re gonna first start with doing an outline, and then fill it in.
Once your big gingerbread side is completely filled in, I let it sit for about 10 minutes,
and then I just lightly went over, and did an outline all the way around,
1 line down the middle, and then 3 lines, dividing it evenly, and then
doing little guys on the top.
And now we’re gonna take the white cookie icing, merp!
And fill in the little windows.
I’m gonna do little zig-zags, because it just looks really gingerbread-y and
this Tardis isn’t going to be exact, it’s gonna be a gingerbread version of the Tardis.
Now that you got your little gingerbread Tardis sides done, like so!
You’re gonna take a bunch of the spare parts, the sides and things, and you’re gonna
cut 3 squares. 1’s gonna be a large square, for the base. And then you’re cut a
medium square and a small square, and this will be for the top!
I didn’t frost the top yet, because we are going to drill a hole through the both
of these for the LED light to come through, so hold off on that!
We’re gonna take the large square and attach it to the base, the platform
with all the snow. So let’s do that, let’s make it snow! Make it snow! Make it snow!
Now you’re gonna take your gingerbread thick icing, and just massage it a little bit.
Then you’re gonna take a scissor, and snip the tip, and you’re just gonna pour it
out all over this platform.
It’s just a piece of cardboard, you can find these at baking stores, or Michaels,
arts and craft stores, they’re everywhere.
Now you’re gonna take your big mustache-ula, and spread it out.
Now we are gonna stick down the base, and you want to do this kind of quickly, because you
want to do it before the gingerbread frosting hardens, because this stuff is amazing,
but it’s like glue!
After you place it down, you can count to about 20 seconds, or you can hum
some Dr. Who.
Waa-waaaaaaa, waaaa-waaaa-waaaa!
Waa-waaaa, ree-ree-reh!
I, that was… So good!
Gonna take a little bit of powdered sugar, and just make it snow, make it snow,
make it snow, make it snow!
Now that we’ve got all of our snow, we’re gonna take the thick icing again,
and lay it down right here, right on top of the base.
The reason I didn’t frost the middle is because it’s just gonna be covered with
the Tardis, and I wanted to leave some space for the
little battery for the LED light.
Then you’re gonna take your side, pick which 1 you want to be your front, and
you’re just gonna stick it on there. And you’re gonna hold it and let it set,
and then we’ll attach on the back, the other pieces.
Once this one’s set for just a little bit, now you’re gonna frost down the side,
like this, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! All the way in the back, and then take
your second piece, and then you’re gonna attach it right behind.
We got our first side together, and let me turn it around so you can see what it
looks like on the inside, ta-der! It should look like that.
Now you’re gonna take your thick icing, and you’re gonna ice the side, just like
we did before, and if it gets messy, that’s OK! It’s a gingerbread house,
they’re supposed to get a little messy! And you can make it pretty thick!
Then you’re gonna take the next side of the Tardis, you’re gonna line it up,
press it together, and hold….
Until it feels secure!
We just added the last part, the last siding to the Tardis, and you’re just gonna
let it sit here to get really sturdy for about 20 minutes, and after it’s set,
then you’re gonna work on putting the top, da-der! Like so!
Then you’re gonna take a power drill, I just chose a drill bit that I thought
was about the same size as the LED wire, so, let’s try it.
Hold him in place, and just drill straight down!
Perfect!
Pffft!
Oh no, I got dirty snow! Oh that was a bad idea!
Now you’re gonna take your LED wire, first I’m gonna feed it through the big one.
That’s a little bit snug, but that’s what I want.
And then you’re gonna feed it through the top 1.
Once this is all put together, then we’re gonna put frosting along the top of the
Tardis, and place this inside with the battery attached.
While the Tardis is drying, this top blue part that we just frosted, we
are going to make a little holiday wreath, I have um, green watermelon Airheads,
I’ve rolled it into a little circle to look like wreath.
We’re gonna use the candy that we got in our gingerbread box. These are green gummy
candy leaves, so if your box didn’t come with that, just find something like this.
You can also use gumdrops, because we’re just gonna cut ‘em up and use the
gingerbread frosting to stick ‘em on there.
We’re gonna take a little leaf, using some baking scissors, cut little shapes.
Little mini leaves, and then stick ‘em on!
Then you’re gonna take these red little candies, that also come in your
gingerbread kit. And what I did is I snipped off the very top, to make the center
of the bow, and for the side of the bow, I snipped off the end and then just cut out
the shape of the side. Making kind of a little triangle.
Together, that’s what it’s going to look like, and you’re just going to stick
that onto the wreath.
I just finished this little top of the Tardis for this little light, I just used
icing, and little, little teeny, I cut little, teeny gingerbread pieces, and put
some frosting on it!
Now we’re gonna stick on the Police Box signs, we made these from the scraps, I
just put a little black frosting, and then with the white frosting, with a number
2 tip, I wrote police box. And we’re gonna take the gingerbread icing,
ice on the top, and stick it on.
Ta-da! We did it! Here is our Gingerbread Tardis! Thanks you guys for suggesting it,
I really wanted to do something Dr. Who!
And it’s so special, because it’s for the Holidays!
And it’s like, the Holiday Tardis! It’s so cute!
It turned out awesome!
