Placing the decorations on
Every detail in place
Finished!
Can we eat it yet?
Yum!
The kids and cousins requested gingerbread houses for a baking activity. We found a recipe from Food Network. It was really fun to make and the kids were eating it all week. For decorations we used pretzels, M&Ms, gummy bears, chocolate filled cookies, raisins, mini candy canes, Cheerios, and pretzel bites. For icing I didn't want to use raw egg whites and meringue powder was out of stock so I just bought the premade one. We ran out of piping bags so we just used ziplock bags and cut the corner off. Beware that the sandwich bags can burst if you squeeze too hard. The freezer bags work better. If the icing is too thick, it will stick to your fingers better than the gingerbread, add some water to thin it so it flows better.
