I've always wanted a gingerbread house.
I ordered a kit from STONEWALL KITCHEN
it came with everything needed except for:
an expert decorator.
The whole icing 'hold it til it sticks'
was a serious problem for me.
I have the attention span of an ant.
THINGS LEARNED:
The gingerbread smells SO good.
Royal icing is a pain.
Lightweight things work the best
(especially on the roof) like gum drops.
The ice cream cone trees were the fun part.
Must have lots of patience and then some.
*note to future gingerbread house constructors...
I made this in Florida. Yes it can be done.
I kept it in the microwave oven
while waiting for the icing to setup completely.*
