Gingerbread House Frosting Recipe
Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
3: Egg whites, room temp.
1 lbs: Powdered sugar,
1 tsp: Vanilla,
2 tsp: Cream of tartar,
Directions:
Mix, beat for 7-10 minutes. Spread as desired.
HOUSE HINTS:
Dont cut shapes until after doughs baked. Fill baking sheet with
sheet of dough, cut it as soon as out of oven. The shapes fit
together better as will become misshapen if cut before baking.
Bevel or miter edges of walls where they join. Do this with sandpaper
after the baked pieces have become cold. They fit better.
Forget trying to make the whole thing edible and use glue gun to stick
walls together. Only eat the flat part of the walls.
Can make roof out of 2 pieces of cardboard and cover with candy or
shredded wheat (thatched roof look). A gingerbread roof is heavy and
difficult to make even.
Make lots of soft royal icing and spread on liberally to look like
snow and cover small faults.
Use cardboard tube and stick bridge mix on it with royal icing. Looks
like a fieldstone chimney. Eat candy but not tube.
Ice cream cones covered with green and white icing make good evergreen
trees and pretzels are good for fences.
