I Made A Hobbit Gingerbread House (as a hobbit) 

Samwise Gamgee, on the top of Orodruin: I wonder what's Rosie is doing right now Rosie, in Shire:

Me: mmm, this looks weirdly bright Rachel: takes out brown coloring and starts w e a t h e r i n g Me: ah, yes

Me, a seasoned baker, the second she plopped the butter and sugar into the dry ingredients: oh....oh no....

We love Hobbit Rachel Content ™️.

I swear every video starts off with “we are doing something a little bit different today” 😂😂😂

If this isn't the cutest video made in 2019, then I don't know what is

For someone who has never baked before this, this is quite impressive,,,-

I love the little laugh Rachel does after she makes a joke.

rachel : i've never baked in my life also rachel : *makes the cutest hobbit gingerbread house ever*

For someone who has never baked or decorated a cake before, you did a terrific job.

"I'm gonna make a mess!" *loud rattling noise*

*notices Rachel doesn’t cream together the wet ingredients* *cries in baker*

baking hack, straight from my grandma: use your measuring cup to pour the oil before the molasses. or just grease your measuring cup

"I honestly never baked anything" Oh boy, this is going to be fun

Holy Guac! that turned out amazing!

frodo stop farting and scaring yourself 😂 this is the quality content i signed up for

I love how some of us are shocked it turned out so gorgeous and the rest of us are like "well, its Rachel."

Okay, I'm pretty sick at the moment so that might be messing with me, but that tiny pumpkin legitimately made me tear up.

This is exactly how I imagine a hobbit baking to be XD

The 3 dislikes are Sauron Saruman and Gollum

The reason to mix the "wet" ingredients separately from the dry to start and why sugar is included in the "wet" ingredients- is to help the sugars to start dissolving in the eggs, butter, and any other liquids before adding to the dry ingredients - It will help everything incorporate better.

Rachel: "hello." Google: *"hey, what can i do for you"* rachel: ?¿??¿¿?¿?¿¿¿??¿?

There are three “types” in the food world: 1) Cooks-these people are perfectly capable of following recipes, but like to get creative. “I wonder what would happen if I put ________ in, instead” is often heard in their kitchen. Produce: soups, stews, casseroles, panini, roasted meats (to name a few) 2) Bakers-these people have the precision necessary for handling recipes that call for exactitude due to the chemical/physical nature of their creations. They have a deep appreciation for the difference between baking powder and baking soda. They always mix dry ingredients, then wet ingredients before combining the two. Produce: tea breads, scones, cookies, cakes 3) Makers of consistently excellent pastry-actually a subset of Bakers, these people are freaks of nature. Don’t even try to understand them. Produce: Eat soap, Karen! Nobody CARES about your tender crust OR light-as-a-cloud puff pastry!!!

Your adorable chaotic cooking is everything I've ever needed in my life. EDIT:::: PLEASE I BEG YOU BEAUTIFUL CREATURE START MAKING VINTAGE RECIPES. PLEEEASE.

"Frodo's stop farting and scaring yourself" 🤣

Add 8oz of apple sauce to keep the cake moist, it has no taste and it’s heather than mayo. I made the same gingerbread cake for Christmas using apple sauce and it came out great. :) keep it up

when I first watched LOTR with my husbands I told him the hobbits reminded me of Italians - we are short; always eating; have huge families; love to eat and party (1st breakfast; 2nd breakfast, etc) We're short - some of us do have hairy feet - muhahahahahaha I love this! You're a ball of fun!

Oh my gosh Rachel, I love how you jump in to projects wholeheartedly and troubleshoot along the way. I feel like gingerbread cake and cookies have deceptively easy recipes, but actually are easy to dry out and even burn. The hobbit house actually looks great. I laughed so hard in the outtakes. I always look forward to all your videos. Keep up the great work!

This is like the irresponsible drunk hobbit version of a Tudor living history chef at a historic site. But it came together at the end! How?! The ickle pumpkin is the best part, though.

4:53 is like reverse asmr it’s perfect

5:35 as my dad likes to say, “you’re being slower than molasses in January” 😂😂

If I could have two patronuses, it would be you and Christine McConnell. My goodness, you look so stinking cute as a hobbit.

We love Christine!! I was so sad when Netflix didn’t renew her for another season. Rose was the true star of the show, though.

I've baked a bit more than you have but cake decorating beyond frosting and sprinkles scares me! You did a marvelous job!

I've just started watching your videos the past couple of weeks. It really inspires me to see you trying new things that you're either new to or still learning. I love this video!! You're the best 🥰🖖

lol in the beginning I was like "Oh-no" then it totally came together. Now I wanna make one. it came out so good!

The true hobbit holiday content we need in our large sized lives rn❤️ Btw loving the cooking vid, it would be neat to see u do this again☺️

Did you just.... weather a cake.... I love you 😭💕

Rachel, one question... how the FRICK did you pull that off

Remember to watch those ads all the way through folks!! We need Rachel to have money for more awesome cosplays!!

Rachel: I suck at this and have never baked anything in my life Cake: *is gorgeous and looks exactly like a textured and lived in hobbit hole*

This was a very ambitious project for someone with little baking experience! Respect for your efforts!!!

That is one of the cutest cakes I've ever seen :')

Oh my god 10 seconds in and she looks SO good with that hair, that vest, those ears, that backdrop...perfection

Mrs Crocombe says you can improve any pudding with ‘Wine Sauce’ Hell Yeah! 😁❤️

This turned out so pretty!! The painting really took it to the next level! My mom and I are amateur novelty cake decorators, and for my last birthday we recreated Bag End out of Rice Krispie treats and fondant. Definitely so much harder than it looks on the baking shows, and it took us an entire LotR marathon to get it done haha

I like how when faced by a skill you have never attempted before, you jump right in. that's what keeps us coming back.

As a avid home baker, I was super excited/nervous for you when the video started. I panicked a little when you just put the ingredients in all Willy nilly. I’ve never done anything like this and to see someone who doesn’t bake much do it is inspiring. Your creation was so adorable!!! I definitely want to try it out now!!

I'm not gonna lie I saw the first bit with just the fondant and I thought it was irredeemable and then u pulled it together and made a freaking amazing cake?? Could not be me you're amazing

To quote my boy Gimli, "It's charming, quite charming!" You honestly did a terrific job, especially considering you've never done this before! THAT LITTLE PUMPKIN!

You did a good job, the cake turned out really cute. 💜 Last time I used fondant I cursed it like 7 generations back and was very tempted to throw it on my wall... So no more fondant for me although I love baking 😂

YESSS! I am all about this hobbit lifestyle! ❤

Curious Creations is honestly one of my comfort shows. It's soo fun and soft 💕 This turned out amazingly!!

Patiently waiting for Hobbit Rachel to return as if she's left in real time... That's such a beautiful hobbit hole!!! #T^T#*~

I freaking love Christien mcconnal!!!!!!! Ahhh im making the spider cookies from her book next week

I love the realness of this video, and sharing the struggles. It’s definitely a breath of fresh air in this day and age!

Yes. I love Christine McConnell. I've never seen her on Netflix. I follow on RU-vid and recently Instagram. I can't wait for her to get another home and restore it. I know it will be brilliantly done over a number of years.

I love Christine so much! I’m glad to see other people appreciate her

LOTR lookbook?! I’d be so down

Tip for dry cakes: soak them with simple syrup or pour some type of sauce for it to absorb. You can also add jam between layers (make a border of frosting then fill with jam) to help with the dryness and make it more pleasant to eat!

I love how you bloop when adding ingredients. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sound-effects their tasks 😅🙈

I accidentally got super high on a cbd/thc supplement last night, and while I spiraled into the worst trip of my life, I pleaded for my friends to put on your videos on for me 😆 Very comforting!

Christine also has a RU-vid channel! She recently did another gingerbread house on there. She posts about once a month, bc her diys are extravagant, but it's worth the wait!!

You did freaking amazing! Christine would be so proud!

Christine has a RU-vid now as well! And as always her crafting skills are amazing! Love that your doing this cooking crafty time!

Okay right so first of all I was already impressed when you called it a 'hot mess'! I don't know what is more aestetic than you dressed up as a cute Hobbit baking a Hobbit gingerbread house. Also the final effect was astonishing and please have more faith in yourself because you slayed it, it's amazing.

As someone who has done a few cakes in this style, my heart was with you the whole time. I was hoping desperately that I would work out, as I know the pain cake failure. It turned out really great, and I'm inspired to make my own hobbit hole!

Please don’t take this wrong but you TRANSFORMED that!!! It’s amazing!! 🖤

This is perfect timing I just started to get into lotr (read the hobbit a while ago, read the fellowship of the ring, watched the movie, told my dad every difference between the two, and started the two towers) and I loooooove it

your videos are so cozy and comforting and inspiring!

It’s so good! I love the shape and colors!

It was so funny when you put the first layers of fondant on 😂😂 It looked pretty good in the end!

Next time freeze the cake and icing before carving and adding the fondant then you would have a much easier time carving and crumb coating, also I’d say if you’re making a cake more than two stories tall add cut skewers in the middle for support.

I made one of these for my brother’s birthday years ago! And my mum made a volcano erupting onto it... and objectively it definitely wasn’t the best hobbit house ever, but I was very proud of my glacier mint window

i love you so much, it's so inspiring to see someone doing what they love and trying new things. you're an absolute delight to watch!!!

Watching that feels exactly like watching an historical film placed in the england countryside...Soo cozy !

You did a really good job for being a beginner! I used to love gingerbread houses as a kid, this makes me feel super nostalgic and now I wanna try making my own house.

This might be your best video yet! Loved every minute!

Rachel your creation is astounding! So appealing

I am loving the whole aesthetic of this video with all the candles burning! So cozy and autumnal! Your fall content on Instagram and RU-vid has been awesome Rachel!

I’ve been binging your videos for a few months and can I say that you inspire me like crazy! I bought a sewing machine and patterns that you was use. Much appreciation for you

My hobby is watching all of the ads on Rachel's videos all the way through

Also a tip if you're portioning out a viscous ingredient you can spray your measuring cup/spoon with non-stick cooking spray. Less waste and easy clean up.

I bet that tasted awesome! Good job girl, thanks for the video today. Much love 🥰

This turned out amazingly! I love to watch you paint.

Christine is pretty much the best of the best of the BEST omg!!! The talent in that girl

Video quality in this one is amazing Rachel!!! You can do almost anything and I will watch happily 😍

It looks beautiful! I think the uneven hill looks authentic! Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Looks great. I see a hobbit whole. I love Christine Mc Connell look how long it took her to make the Gingerbread Replica and she has done it before. I think any hobbit would be glad to live there.

Amazing Rachel! So beautiful!

Watching the ingredients montage was so satisfying

I mean, even in 2023, this is still an ADORABLE Hobbit hole! Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel, you rocked it! You have so much artistic talent.

Your cake is so cute. Well done Rachel!🙌

Ohhhhh, i missed Hobbit Rachel haha and I don't even like hobbits...

So cute! I love this little corner of your house!

For the experience you lack in baking you decorated it sooooo cute! It turned out really cool thanks for sharing.

I LOVE Christine Mcconnell!!!! she’s effortlessly Amazing!

I love your content when you try new things! It makes me feel like I don't need to be an expert to try a new skill or hobby. Your results are always amazing but I appreciate so much that you let us see all the lumps and bumps of the creative process along the way!

That's so cute!!! I love it so much, and you did a great job at baking!
