This is what we did with the left overs. We cut out circles. Put a circle of foie gras on at and a dab of onion jam.

And with the rest from around the circles we added chunks of foie gras and a dab of fig jam.

Thanks for the suggestions for those who were here.

I think next year we might make a cat instead of a house.

For future reference, the trick is to take the gingerbread out of the oven and then make the cutouts while it's still hot.

if you freeze your dough for about 20 minutes before putting it in the oven, it spreads less while baking

Or use cardboard to make forms. Did this to make floor to ceiling windows that I melted crushed livesavers into to make a patterned stained glass cathedral

Interesting... Thank you. I'll keep this in mind for next year.
