Here we have our Christmas gingerbread house. Last year I decided to just buy a gingerbread house kit from the supermarket (seen above). This year we are planning on making our own to give friends as presents, so hopefully I'll be able to post it before Christmas as well as this one. We made some royal icing to glue the lollies on to the house as decorations. This icing dries really quickly, so it is ideal for small children to use as glue! I found that this recipe made enough icing for two houses.
Royal Icing Recipe
2 cups of sifted icing sugar
2 egg whites
1 lemon
1. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks
2. Gradually add the sugar with a squeeze of lemon juice.
