January 5th Gingerbread Live Stream!

(My husband just signed us up as a patron for my birthday) Does your coffee mug have text on the inside? It reminds us of a Miss Havisham insult cup, but I’ve never seen one quite like yours!

Victoria and Chris

As a new member to your Patreon I am slowly catching up with your livestreams and extra content. I didn't bake while watching but I did add a lot more to a patchwork quilt my mum started over 40 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed my day!

Zoe Oldfield

Hello, I'm not sure if you'll see this as it is very far from the live stream. However I just wanted to let you know that you can use ground flax seeds and water combo to replace eggs in baking. It works very well as a binder, and is healthy and taste great. My Mom used to make me banana cake every year for my birthday and used this technique when I was vegan. Hope it helps!!

Killian Kincaide

That snowman leg is hysterical

Kate Lecours

Hi Christine! i just joined the other day and I LOVE this gingerbread livestream ! I'm sad I missed the original but i hope you do another one :)

Gabrielle Best

That is an amazing eye you have there Cora! https://sexandthecityrevisited.wordpress.com/2016/01/30/season-2-episode-14-the-fuck-buddy/

Megg Sohn

You’re welcome. :) That is so awesome though! You have a piece of the show forever with you in your wardrobe.

Cora Kathlea

Hello! After seeing your comment, I went and looked at the dress in that episode and the dress in my closet... I bought this dress from a vintage dress shop in los Angeles and it's a home-made original, which makes me think it's very possible it's the same dress she wore! Which is crazy neat! :D Thank you for pointing this out :)))

Christine McConnell

She is wearing the exact dress that Carrie wears for a picnic in season 2 episode 14 of sex and the city. I love it so much!!

Cora Kathlea

As I watched this I came up with a couple of variations: 1 - have the candy cane growing out of his arm; instead of him holding it and 2 - create a small 3D elf hat and head, from modeling chocolate (like the snowman/spider), emerging from the rip in his stomach.

Tina Nichols

ALSO...I want your dream home to be a B&B!!! hehehe

Doreena Clark

I was JUST now finally able to watch this...I made a purse while you guys were baking, and HOLY CATS, I LOVED this soooooooo very much!!! It was such an incredibly relaxing and happy way to while away my craft time.... thank you so much for doing it and I do hope you do more! =D

Doreena Clark

I'm moving to Tennessee in a month. I will sprint barefoot to a Patreon party if you have one! It's like you have opened up my brain and rooted around in there, then picked out all my favorite things and started making them! You are so inspiring! Creepy old manors, spooky everything, styles, colors, characters etc...So awesome and fun!!! I'm a trained opera singer, I'll teach you to sing since if you teach me to make amazing things!

Sara Morales

Just now watching this, but I would love to meet you and see the new house. You have given me such inspiration for my childhood home that I have inherited.

Elizabeth Goans

The Thing (JC's) is and has been one of my all time favorite movies. I'm pretty obsessed with it so thank you for the wonderful gingerbread twist on it. And if you're not a fan of VD google Lupercalia!

Kirsten Perez

I love how everyone kept saying "Can we eat it now??" I swear I could hear Rose's voice every time echoing in mi mind hahaha. I just finished watching this and it was tons of fun, and so relaxing, I'll probably come back to it to play it in the back while I'm crafting something. I like regular episodes a lot, but I wouldn't mind having something like this from time to time, it really felt like being there hanging out. PS: I totally want Christine to teach us to make that Negroni they had on the christmas episode with the cast of Curious Creations!

Simón J.

Hi! It's hard for me to catch up on this long of a livestream, would you be able to recap for us the winning hashtag and any fun info and reveals that occurred? 🙂

Erin Flower

Late to the party but finally caught up and watched the livestream! I absolutely love this format and can’t wait to see more! Fun fact relating to your Kurt Russel infatuation, when he was a boy he was on an episode of Gilligans Island! I’m sure he was on more than that but I remember watching it fairly recently and being like oh my gosh Kurt Russell! Lol also you made me wonder if he named his son after Wyatt Earp which is arguably one of the best parts he’s played ever! Anywho, keep up the great work, you truly inspire me to be more creative everyday!

Nikki

I like both. I think long formats are great depending on the project. Maybe once a quarter do a "join me" project. Something like a sew-along, or hair/makeup or other projects where you can do them in a limited space, like the kitchen. bedroom, or something. :) Can't wait for the dress form!

Jessica Harmsworth

Just finished watching the replay and it was awesome! Would definitely love to see more in this format but the edited episodes are great too. Very nice! :)

Stephanie Thayer

Watching the replay and not baking cookies 😂 but love all the conversation. I’m super excited for all the things to come this year! This is super fun even if you couldn’t make it live. I love the camera set up too cool!

Amanda Boldreghini

Christine- Talking about the house you build and being buried there, check out this guy. He lived 1843-1932. His house is a major tourist stop here in Kansas. http://www.gardenofedenlucas.org/

Nicole Scolari

Casper house is one of my favorites too!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Christine I Messaged you !!

Tarah Schomburg

I missed this live, but am really enjoying it after the fact! Also: your idea/dream to make a big creepy custom house with secret passageways and trap doors sounds like a literal dream to me- love love it! Ever since I saw the live-action Casper movie I've wanted a house like that to actually exist.

Christina Rodriguez

I loved the livestream! Is that an American Bisque owl cookie jar in the back? I have one sitting on my counter that I found a while ago! Anyway, here's a throwback to your first episode with the snake couch. I am learning to make my own lace and would love to see how you made those beautiful pillows! I also noticed your beaded spider. If you are looking for a smaller craft to do at some point maybe one of those? Yours looked a lot more elaborate and interesting than some I have seen, so I would love to see your take on how you do them!

Nicholas Frig

The livestream was a lot of fun to watch, even though I used the time to knit instead of bake : ) Thank you again for sharing the creative process with us!

Cassandra Cork

FINALLY getting to do my bake-a-long, and I start smooshing around my dough only to realize I don't own a rolling pin! Thankfully I got a canvas print sent to me by Christine and it had a very stiff cardboard roll that the print was wrapped around! So THANK YOU Christine for my makeshift rolling pin! It worked great! Bahaha

Sinister Sarah

I loved watching this, it’s been amazing. I am in the wrong time zone also but it didn’t matter, I can watch later and do the project at a time that suits me. Please do more of these, I really enjoyed my day watching along as I did my own thing.

Karen Brown

I'm in the wrong time zone for the livestream, but I'm catching up afterwards while I work on my own projects and it's such good company. I'd love to see more of these in the future. 😊 💜

Violet

Thank you Christine!!! The live stream was amazing ! I Loved it. Shame I couldn’t take part with the actual bake and watch all the way through but the time difference got in the way (from the UK) I caught up the next day. Can’t wait for your next one 😃 So glad I’m a patreon ! 🖤

Victoria Gates

I couldn't bake along with you all but I am watching it afterwards and am having fun spending time with you in your kitchen. Haha. I love this and would love for you to do more of these in the future when ever you have the chance to.

Monique Nicole

Wow! This was so much fun to watch :D I LOVE the GingyThing! How cute was he? You asked if we would like to see more of the long format creations, and I say yes! Sign me up. This really was a blast and thank you so much for taking the time out to hang with us :) Looking forward to your next livestream and seeing what you come up with next.

cassandra staples

It was on YouTube

Sean Paul

She was reading comments on YouTube where her livestream was coming from

Sean Paul

Had so much fun on the livestream! Who knew an afternoon making and decorating cookies would fly by so fast!! I loved this experience because I learned new skills and techniques. I never thought of rolling the dough on the pan or lining it with parchment! It was so easy :) I’m looking forward to more bakes or any other creative projects. I’m a novice at all so excited to learn together 👏🏻

Kym Storms

I wish I could've been home while you were livestreaming! I really love the format and the fact you walked through the ENTIRE process step by step. This is definitely my preferred way to see what comes out of that gorgeous mind of yours! I know it's my personal preference but I'd love to see more DIYs that aren't perishable - Something I can make that will last for a long time (I have your broom on my list as a must!). Thank you so much for sharing your ideas, time, and process with us! <3

Cass

Omg Christine you HAVE to watch the 1995 BBC version with Colin Firth it is AMAZING

Dawn Hargy-Louden

This was awesome. I hope I can join in live next time. Been enjoying the pics on instagram

Lindsey

As much as I ADORED Curious Creations, I really prefer these Patreon videos so much more. I love being able to see all of the steps and follow along. This was such a cool project! Excited to make my own now. Thank you for letting us see your process!

Ashley McDonald

I used those vinyl erasers that were mentioned a lot in art school :) I always bought the mars brand and it worked like a charm

Allison Edes

Thank you Christine for your time and dedication to us. We so appreciate you. I was able to watch from start to finish and I think you are simply amazing. Not to mention beautiful also. Hugs

Angell Cloxen

This was great, I was not able to partake but watched the first couple hours while I was working in the kitchen.

Brij Charan

Thank you! I had so much fun! Didn't get to finish mine but will today.

Brenda Hunt

Thanks Christine! I feel like I learned a lot of little tricks! I’m sure that was a long stressful day for you ... super appreciate your dedication to all of us ... your minions!! ❤️

Mandy Spitzer

I'm so sad I had to miss this entire stream :( I tried to watch last night and it still didn't work. Starting today and there better be no interruptions! :D

cassandra staples

"I miss the old lady thing". This is so refreshing! Our society does not value mature women at all and hearing this from Christine makes me fear getting old less. I want to embrace the old lady thing too!

Kate Frank

OMG I just realized you coordinated your little kitchen implements with your outfit! You're such a good set designer!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

This was great, maybe a quarterly live stream of creating. Baking, sewing, building etc.

Summer Rose Barnes

I've had the most success with a white eraser called Magic Rub & you didn't spend a lot of money on that tech, you invested for the ultimate videos ;)

Angela Pogue

I had to stop it just before the end due to a family gathering (just watched the end later), but my 16 year old daughter and I really loved the long format - had it on all day while we went about various Sunday household things (didn't bake along) and we loved checking in on the progress and understanding the process in real time. Love your final Gingy and everyone's results on Instagram! 💕😊💕

Aimee Knerr PLYarn

This is so cool! What was the equipment you used for shooting overhead and having picture in picture?

Ann Shen

If you click the video so that it takes you to YouTube to watch it, you can get all 7 plus hours! I was thinking the same. I was at work during it so I came home and only saw that I could see the last two hours before I clicked and saw that you can see it all. Haha.

Monique Nicole

I watched for an hour last night. Due to timeshift it was nighttime here in Germany. So I'm happy it will be here for ever so I can bake this mavelous creation.

Kirstin

thank you for letting us know :)

Peggy

I was watching from my phone so I couldn’t figure out how to comment but this was loads of fun!!!!! Thank you for having streaming day!!!!

Dracokiro

I think the mansion idea with the trap doors and hidden passageways sounds SO wonderful! I imagine it looking a little bit like the mansion in Casper—I adore that movie and have always loved that house!

Alex

This was so much fun. It was like having a friend over to bake for the day with all the stories and chit chat

Ramey Anderson

I started watching the livestream earlier in the day and had to leave for a few hours. I started watching from where I left off then the video buffered and skipped to the last portion and now it will only let me watch the last two hours :( I was enjoying it so much

Courtney MacDonald

I only see the last two hours also

Jennifer H

um guys. am i the only one who can only get the last two hours?

Peggy

I’m so sad I missed it, I had work! 😭 I’ll need to watch the full thing on my next day off

Samantha Farrell

Totally enjoying this!

Piper Dohring

This is absolutely visual Valium ❤️❤️❤️

Piper Dohring

Hello! I just checked and Youtube says it needs time to render the whole thing and it should be available soon! :D

Christine McConnell

Loved the live stream. 🥰 would love to see à show with royal icing piping technics in the future.

Pernilla

I missed the live stream and just tuned in but I can only get 2 hours. Any ideas why?

Deborah Lawler

I LOVE this suggestion! :D

Christine McConnell

Hello hello! Xx Will the first half of the bake-along live stream also be available to watch? 😊💕

Ö.H

Thanks for the nightmare fuel!

Lynn Weingarden-Marston

This was such a fun live stream - even though my gluten free flour failed me, and puffed up beyond recognition! Mine's definitely a Nailed it!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

this livestream was such a treat!! i loved watching it while i did my sunday routine and lounged :-)

Victoria Ruiz

That was awesome! I'd love to do this again sometime. Maybe next time have a friend, or better yet your mom assist you, it would be fun to see!

Sarah Bear

This was so much fun! I just watched today, due to toddler interference. But I am so inspired and I can't wait to give it a go! I love it! It is so funny! Love the snowman. Quirky creepy is so my jam and I love your stuff!

Delaney Drake

It looks like an Akira Christmas monster. 🖤

Dana Vogel

Thank you. I watched the live stream all day while moving about. My only thought is perhaps next time you’d have a side-kick in the room (even for a period of the time) reading comments to you for answering. You still working and commenting back. Just a thought. GREAT JOB! Loved this!

Nancy Jarnecke

It was great to see your process! I would suggest a little background music since you a such a focused creator!

Jerilyn Campbell

We really, really enjoyed today's live stream. We were unable to bake along with you but we watched the entire 7+ hours as they happened. Lots of fun. Thank you.

Becky & James

Thanks for a fun day!

Heidi Eschedor

was great fun! Had you on in the background while I did some homework and other things, and lookiung over at what you were doing always made me smile!

Frie Krause

Though it's much more convenient for the camera to be on the counter, I hope next time you put it on your non-dominant-hand side. Most of the time I can't see what you're doing. Love the outcome! It's gorgeous. 💞

rae ralston

Do some icicles

Emily

Looks great!!!

Maggie Jordan

It looks so amazing!

Dana Vogel

Walt Disney loved Kurt Russel too. His name were his last words, and no one, even Kurt, knows why.

Saltywench

This is an incredible amount of fun, and wow - that's amazing work! But it's 7:30 pm in Tidewater Virginia, and I'm at a good stopping point for the night. Thank you so much!

Courtney Kerr

I would've described myself as meticulous before watching this process in real time (and seeing her redo both mouths, etc.).

Jenniffer Woodson

Suggestions from the YT chat are Folk Art clear paint varnish and possibly isomalt (if you want them to remain edible).

Jenniffer Woodson

Is there a way for the camera to film closer?

Jenetta Michelle Lacayo

Do you seal the gingerbread with anything to make it last longer or is that not an issue?

Emily

Hello from Tennessee!

Emily

If I wanted to turn gingerbread men into ornaments. What would you use to seal them??

Dawn Hessler

☺️ Really? Ha! They have everything now! Thanks

Morgen Meier

Thank you! I was feeling very technologically illiterate! 😅

Morgen Meier

Wasn’t able to get the chocolate... hoping there’s another alternative!!

Maggie Jordan

The Silent Patient is the best Audible book I've listened to so far

Tiffany Hoyle

looks great!

Aimee Knerr PLYarn

I am sad, that I don't get to watch it in one go (because right now -near the end of the 20min break- it's almost midnight here in Germany) Q,,Q

Nebel_the_bat

I’m a new Patreon and I’m loving this! I’m excited to try creepy Valentines cookies and wanted to say thank you for the creative inspiration! 🖤

Brenda Fairbanks

Reminds me of the Worthers candy legs without the molten candy on your fingers! Big plus!

Carey Netzloff

I'm off to bed now - i'm in the UK near Pendle if you know your UK witch trials! - but it's been so relaxing to watch you doing your thing, like Bob Ross with horror references! I'll see the rest tomorrow after work with a cuppa. Good luck to everyone baking along!

Rachel Guy-Whittle

For all those commenting here, go to the YT link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-W5w9QwZdQ) and join the chat on the right-hand side of the screen. It's possible to have the chat hidden, so click on 'show chat' if you don't see it.

Jenniffer Woodson

Visit Florida! I have a spare room for you with puppies and a kitty! ❤️ My birthday is at the end of February and I was totally thinking of doing either a Christine McConnell or Nic Cage lol!

Tammy Terry

Will the decor theme remain similar or are you looking at a different century style

M W

Would it be possible to come and visit or see your spooky house if you one day build it ?☺️ 👻

Pernilla

can we do more ...powdering ones nose breaks in future life streams? *pleeease*

Nebel_the_bat

You can get it digitally on Amazon

Gina Radford

You can watch on phone you have to go through Patreon or put the Patreon app on your phone

Gina Radford

What is the hashtag again?

Kristina

Best way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Gina Radford

Sounddd!

Abbey Casian

If you’re ever in DC you should visit the O street mansion! It has lots of secret rooms and passageways and a really cool aesthetic

Natalie Coleman

I would love to see how you hand painted your walls. You've inspired me to turn my apartment into whatever wonderland I want it to be xo

Julie Smits

Can I rent a room in this house? I promise to keep yourgrave nice and tidy

Danielle

Whatever house you get you’re going to make amazing! My old neighbor in Austin built hidden rooms for his kids. They were incredibly fun during parties!

Liv

Do you have any Spotify lists you would be willing to share? Would you consider putting one together? I’m curious what you are listening to on your beats when you are working?

Sharon Mikell

Good evening from Germany. This is so sureal.

Kirstin

Do you cook a lot?

Mandy Parsons

Is this where she reads the comments? I have been on my phone watching and finally sat on the desktop, this is the first live stream i've watched so im a little behind on how comments during live streams work

Ana

I was able to get your book on my kindle. Love it. I'm really enjoying the live day. Doing some sewing. I will try this later.

Laura Brewer

Also how can we post photos here. I don’t see the options....maybe too much champagne!

Tammy Terry

Having fun is what counts

Florence Blocker

So, Christine you are amazing! You’re so OCD and we are so ADD! While you’ve perfected your amazing Thing, we have made a kitty face, Frankenstein, and found out we have leftovers that made 7 gingerbread men cutouts so now we are doing the 7 deadly sins!

Tammy Terry

Loving the whole John Carpenter’s The Thing moment that he has going on!!

Ken Sutton

Can we see more of your dress? It’s so pretty!

Laurel Rose

I don't think it works on phone (at least not my phone). I switched over to my laptop and the YouTube icon is there, and it works.

Adrienne Young

My bff made me a locket so I could do the same for my late dog. It was the sweetest gesture ever. Yours is beautiful.

Liv

How’s the house hunting going?

Carmella Ramsey

I wonder if you could trace the stencil and lightly dent the dough. My hands cramp up when I cut with paper with those blades.

Liv

Christine, this is so fabulous! At first we were crippled with anxiety trying to keep up with you, but now we are 2 champagne bottles in 🤣

Tammy Terry

I'm not much of a baker so I would live if you did a live stream craft-along! That's more up my alley, but I still enjoy watching your process.

Dana Vogel

i can't find where the live chat is

Peggy

Lily

Speaking of antlers...have you seen the trailer for that movie? Spppoookkkyyy

Jessica

hiii xoxo

Aimee Knerr PLYarn

You can comment w/o interrupting the video in the live feed: I hovered over "Youtube" on the bottom right of the screen and clicked on "Watch on youtube" and it takes you to the feed where Christine can read your comments in real time.

Melissa Santucci

Congrats Debbie!!!

John & Michelle

I’m a Savannah native and I have kicked myself 100 times after I learned you had been here and I missed meeting you!!!

Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

I grew up in Florida and Louisiana. I learned how to outrun a gator very early but if you're not used to that, it's understandable.

Susanne Tassin

How long will the mix be okay in the fridge for ? I think I’ll have to go to bed before you are all finished ☺️🇬🇧

Claire Harvey

If you started vegan cooking omg. My husband and I went vegan whole food plant based a couple of years ago. His high blood pressure went down within a couple of weeks.

Sarah

My last cat was lovely. We were so close. Always would follow me around or curl up under my chair. Miss you Wilbur

John & Michelle

Animals are so amazing

John & Michelle

I'm always talking about the cookbook to friends... Maybe a digital release? It wouldn't be nearly as lovely as a book in hand but it would be nice to still have a version available! 🖤🕷️📖🥧

Morgen Meier

Hey Christine, So great to hear! I'm a vegan baker. I teach people how to bake vegan and run one of the most popular vegan baking groups on FB. I just released a cookbook covering the basics of vegan baking. You can check out my recipes, resources and tips here www.sarakidd.com and my vegan baking group is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vegancakesdecoratingbakingresources/ Let me know if you need any help or have any questions xoxox

Sara Kidd

I am overdue my health check.

John & Michelle

Would love the Japanese cookery book. Slowly learning Japanese

John & Michelle

I would love a Japanese cookbook!

Courtney McCanlis

I saw a used copy on Amazon for $180.

Melissa Santucci

That is not related to the Gingerbread recipe but do you plan on making dresses or corset tutorials in 2020 ? Kisses from France :)

Bonnery

How is house hunting going?

Gina Radford

How are you guys adding a comment without stopping the video.

Lindsey

I LOVE YOU CHRISTINE !!!

James-Michael Fleites

Is the appliance with the red gingham cloth a dishwasher?

Vicky Neish

Had a Hermione Granger moment... Lev-i-O-sa... lev-uh-ning

Morgen Meier

You can substitute pumpkin and baking powder for eggs when making gingerbread.

Jennifer LaBerge

Wish I could follow along, but it’s 7:30am here on Monday and I have to go to work :/

Thea Hutchings

This is soooo fun, Thank you!!!

Ellen Miller

Slow as molasses

Christine Zittell

I finally got myself a "Wonder cup" Measuring cup, courtesy of Alton Brown's recommendation and it was a life/time saver when I made gingerbread for my family this Christmas. It pushes the measurement of molasses out instead of having to wait for it to slowly drip out. Though, that little vintage piece is beautiful and I appreciate all of your efforts :)

Jacqueline Reichner

I’m curious too!!

Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

Is this where we comment during the live stream?

Thommy Deah

I love that you can switch it to a close up view!

Vicky Neish

So excited ☺️

Randi Schmidt

My grandma wore only mumus and she permed her hair really short. She was adorable. She was also a very tough lady. I miss her.

Christa

i have seven cats so I learned to accept it a long time ago. I have 4 kittens and no chance of keeping them away. I am usually thrilled if my hair stays out!

MichelleShari

Hi Christine! This is my first live stream, I am so excited!

Nat Caleti

What is the cocoa powder for?

Thommy Deah

its a dirndal

Florence Blocker

Where do I comment? On YouTube?

Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

Hi <3 Finally I made it! I live in Italy and now is 7 pm.. I'm so happy to finally watch a livestram <3

artemide tauridea

Love your outfit ♥️ did you make it?

Courtney McCanlis

I’m not baking......just watching 👏🏻❤️

Gina Radford

question not about gingerbread... would you ever make magic wands as a new wood working project?

Amy Elizabeth

For those of us that are nervous, please give us some confidence we can follow along.... ;)

Sean Paul

Sound is better now!

Adrienne Young

Good morning!!

Brenda Hunt

Also, hello! =D

Adrienne Young

Hiiiiiiii!!

Mandy Spitzer

Heidi Eschedor

there's an echo

Adrienne Young

Florence Blocker

Awesome. All my kitchen stuff is packed up as I'm moving next week.

Kristina Hinojosa

Sean Paul

Claire Harvey

Ready!! :)

Tori

Watching from our campsite around the campfire in the TN Mountains. I’ll bake when we go back home in 2 weeks. Cant wait to see everybody’s results

Lindsey

Go Go Thommy! You can make it!

Florence Blocker

WOOHOO! I'm still getting over a virus and want to bake later.

Florence Blocker

Christine Lambert

Will this be posted indefinitely for those of us who would like to bake along another day?

Sarah

Wait, I’m still cleaning my counter

Thommy Deah

Yay!

Megan

☺️ I’m so ready!!

Elle Gallow

Cookie O'Clock!

Morgen Meier
