Gingerbread house
Recipe was taken from Martha Stewart and is a Swedish gingerbread house.
Building the house:
1.Cut and bake dough-
Cut out the components of the house according to the templates.
There are 2 side walls, 2 roof tops, 1 front wall with door, 1 back wall and
cutouts for the chimney too.
Bake the dough and leave them to cool completely.
 |
| 2 side walls |
 |
| Front with door and back walls |
 |
| 2 pieces of roofs |
2.Assembly-
Before assembly, outline and decorate the edges of the windows
and doors with icing.
My daughter did all the piping decorations to the house.
She added dots in addition to the lines.
To assemble, first, apply royal icing to each adjoining side of the walls to be held together and hold together for a few seconds. The icing will harden holding the pieces together.
Assemble the 2 side walls with the back and front walls.
Once all 4 walls are held together, attach the roof by applying some icing on the V-shape and attach the roof pieces.
After assembly, the house is left to dry overnight.
Adding the Finishing Touches.....
Chocolate pretzels were first glued on both roofs and decorated with icing.
Colourful candies lined the edge of the roof.
Assemble the chimney together and attach to the front roof of the house.
Side walls of house decorated with more coloured candies.
Front walls decked with colourful lights of jelly beans.
Candy canes for front gate post and icing as snow.
Candy canes also formed fence around house.
Decorated front door and chocolate waffle mat.
Icicles formed on edge of roof.
Completed Gingerbread house....
And not forgetting the figurines........
Snowman is placed at the front porch.
Santa is climbing down the chimney while his reindeer with sleigh is waiting on the roof top.
