Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 gingerbread house (pre-baked)
Decoration Supplies:
- 1 container royal icing
Candy Decorations:
- 1 pack candy canes
- 1 pack gumdrops
- 1 container sprinkles
Instructions
- Position the pre-constructed gingerbread house on a flat, sturdy surface with ample workspace for decorating.
- Prepare royal icing in a piping bag or with a spoon, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture for attaching decorations.
- Create a base layer of icing along the edges and roof of the gingerbread house, providing a strong foundation for candy embellishments.
- Select colorful candies like peppermints, gumdrops, and candy canes to strategically place on the house’s surface, covering walls and roof with creative patterns.
- Carefully press each candy piece into the royal icing, applying gentle pressure to secure them in place without damaging the delicate gingerbread structure.
- Add intricate details such as icicle-like drips of icing along the roofline or windowsills to enhance the architectural design.
- Allow the decorated house to rest at room temperature for 2-3 hours, giving the royal icing sufficient time to harden and permanently attach the candy decorations.
- Once completely dry, display your festive gingerbread masterpiece on a decorative plate or holiday centerpiece, showcasing your artistic holiday creation.
Notes
- Stabilize your workspace by using a sturdy board or platter to prevent accidental house collapse during decorating.
- Work in a cool, dry area to help royal icing set faster and maintain structural integrity of your gingerbread creation.
- Choose candies with flat surfaces for easier attachment and more secure placement on the house’s walls and roof.
- Consider using tweezers for precise candy placement and creating intricate design details without disturbing the icing.
