Default Gingerbread Baking with the House Elves

Fire up the ovens, Muffin Man!

With the sugary smell of the giant gingerbread house close by, the Hogwarts house elves can be seen tending to the ovens that have been brought to the Great Hall specifically for this event. Also tending to the ovens is half house elf Gryffindor prefect, Kurumi Hollingberry. She has set out an arrangement of cookie cutters in every shape imaginable, from the standard gingerbread man shape, to dragons, to flowers, to snowflakes. If you can imagine it, it is probably somewhere on the table along with rolling pins and enough gingerbread cookie dough to feed all of Hogwarts several times over. Simply roll out some dough, pick a cookie cutter, and hand over your cookie hopeful to one of the house elves or to Kurumi to be baked.

Beside this table is another lined with little bags of icing in spectrum of colors and bowls of candy used to decorate your cookie creation however you see fit. What can you do with your little delight? You can eat it, add it as a decoration to the gingerbread house nearby, or hang it from the giant Christmas tree as a Christmas ornament.

Want to do something while you wait for your cookies to come out of the oven or just had enough of decorating? Located just to the right of the decoration station is an area where your prefects and Quidditch captains have charmed marshmallows to float and move around in the air. Why not grab a friend or a house elf and see if you can catch one of these fluffy delights with your mouth?
